A Instrumentation Technician is needed in George. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Western Cape operation.
What This Role Involves
The Instrumentation Technician position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Western Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in George and across the engineering jobs space.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the engineering jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Instrumentation Technician to step into the engineering jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
