The Mechanical Engineer vacancy is a fantastic opportunity for senior professionals who possess robust experience in wet services and hydraulic design. This is a permanent, full-time job, offering a highly competitive salary between R 550 000 and R 750 000 annually. Applicants are required to have at least eight years of relevant experience, and a suitable engineering degree. Pr Eng registration is a great advantage.

The job values both advanced technical know-how and practical field experience. Only South African residents or those with a valid work permit are considered for this position.
The role calls for an independent professional with problem-solving skills and the ability to comply fully with SANS standards. Valid driver’s licence and own vehicle are necessary due to potential site work.
Day-to-day Responsibilities
The job involves producing detailed designs for wet services, fire protection, and HVAC systems. You’ll develop rational fire and sprinkler system plans according to project demands. Part of the duties includes creating booster pump layouts, drainage networks, and hot water plant designs.
Ensuring all plans adhere to South African National Standards (SANS 10252 parts 1 & 2, SANS 10400-T and SANS 10400-P) is central to the role. You’ll also be expected to handle technical queries efficiently and possibly lead meetings. Collaboration with fellow engineers, architects, and site teams forms part of the core day-to-day responsibilities.
There is also a focus on hydraulic design, requiring precise calculations and documentation, plus oversight of installation processes where necessary.

Возможные недостатки
Candidates should be aware of the substantial experience required—this is not a role for early-career engineers. Both a degree and a relevant work permit are strictly necessary.
You’ll also need your own reliable vehicle and valid driver’s licence, as site visits are integral to the role. The job comes with the normal challenges of demanding clients and the need for excellence under pressure.
