What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Midrand operation, and this Mechatronics Technician position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the engineering jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.

Practically speaking, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Midrand team on trust, and the Mechatronics Technician role will feel that from week one.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the engineering jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Midrand much easier.
