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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Schweizer-Reneke.
In addition, the Schweizer-Reneke 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.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain maintenance schedules for plant and equipment
- Lead root-cause analyses on production losses and quality defects
- Mentor apprentices, learners and junior engineers on site
- Manage technical procurement and evaluate supplier proposals
- Conduct site inspections and progress meetings with contractors
- Prepare technical drawings, BOMs and specifications for production
- Support commissioning of new plant, equipment and process changes
Who We’re Looking For
- Registered or working toward registration with a recognised engineering body
- BEng, BTech or National Diploma in Engineering
- Awareness of B-BBEE and skills development obligations
- Sound knowledge of the OHS Act and applicable SANS standards
- Working knowledge of CAD packages (AutoCAD, SolidWorks or similar)
