Draughtsman

An opportunity has arisen for a Draughtsman in Stellenbosch. Suitably qualified candidates from across Western Cape are invited to apply.

What This Role Involves

The Draughtsman position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Western Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Stellenbosch and across the engineering jobs space.

On top of that, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Stellenbosch team on trust, and the Draughtsman role will feel that from week one.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the engineering jobs group in Stellenbosch.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Stellenbosch teams, and the new Draughtsman will feel that from the first week.

Your Future Here

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the engineering jobs team in Stellenbosch have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Stellenbosch team member.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Stellenbosch have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Based in Stellenbosch

Crucially, the role is based in Stellenbosch, within reach of Century City. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Stellenbosch and the broader Western Cape region.

Many candidates already living within reach of Stellenbosch cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Western Cape economy.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Stellenbosch, Western Cape.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Stellenbosch.

What Your Day Looks Like

Mornings often begin on site, walking through plant or project areas with the team and picking up where yesterday’s work ended. You move between technical reviews, contractor discussions and hands-on troubleshooting, balancing safety, cost and quality at every decision point. The afternoon might involve drawings, reports or a planning session for an upcoming shutdown. By the time you knock off, you have kept production running, advanced the project plan and helped the team go home safely.

Beyond that, the Stellenbosch office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Stellenbosch.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Diversity and Inclusion

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Stellenbosch.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Stellenbosch.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Meet the Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the engineering jobs side of the business inside out. The Stellenbosch group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

On top of that, the team mix in Stellenbosch reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
