Project Engineer

A vacancy has been confirmed for a Project Engineer based in Benoni, Gauteng. The successful candidate will join an established team within the engineering jobs function.

What This Role Involves

This Project Engineer role sits within the engineering jobs function in Benoni. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the engineering jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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 Benoni teams, and the new Project Engineer will feel that from the first week.

A Typical Day

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.

The Benoni 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.

Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.

Equal Opportunity

Crucially, 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 Benoni.

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.

What We Offer

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Benoni colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the engineering jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Practically speaking, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Benoni keep progressing.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Gauteng.

• Liaise with regulatory bodies on permits, licences and inspections
• Prepare technical reports and project documentation for sign-off
• Lead root-cause analyses on production losses and quality defects
