Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Production Engineer to Komatipoort and join a team that moves fast. This Mpumalanga role is one to watch.
About the Opportunity
This Production Engineer role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Komatipoort. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the engineering jobs pipeline across Mpumalanga.
The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Komatipoort team on trust, and the Production Engineer 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 Komatipoort much easier.
Diversity and Inclusion
Equally, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Komatipoort.
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.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Komatipoort.
