The posting

Junior Mechanical Engineer

Location: Brits, North West Salary: R30,000 - R35,000 CTC per month Employment type: Permanent

The Opportunity

A well-established multi-site manufacturer is seeking a motivated Junior Mechanical Engineer to join its Brits plant.

This is a hands-on development opportunity for an early-career engineer who wants to build practical manufacturing, maintenance, reliability and production-engineering experience. The successful candidate will work closely with experienced plant leadership and technical teams, receiving exposure to continuous improvement projects, plant equipment, process optimisation and day-to-day operational problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the engineering and production teams with daily plant operations.
  • Assist with preventative maintenance, mechanical reliability and downtime-reduction initiatives.
  • Investigate equipment and process issues, assist with root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
  • Participate in continuous-improvement projects focused on productivity, waste reduction, quality, cost and safety.
  • Assist with plant modifications, installation projects, equipment upgrades and technical documentation.
  • Compile technical reports, maintenance records, project updates and performance information.
  • Work with production, maintenance, quality and external service providers to resolve technical challenges.
  • Ensure adherence to plant safety, housekeeping and quality standards.

Minimum Requirements

  • Degree, diploma or advanced diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
  • Graduate through to approximately three years' relevant practical experience.
  • A genuine interest in a hands-on manufacturing and plant environment.
  • Sound mechanical aptitude and structured problem-solving ability.
  • Exposure to maintenance, production, project engineering or process improvement will be advantageous.
  • Basic understanding of preventative maintenance, technical drawings and mechanical systems.
  • Good Microsoft Excel and reporting ability; exposure to CAD or maintenance systems will be advantageous.
  • Strong communication skills, initiative and a willingness to learn from experienced plant personnel.
  • Reliable transport and the ability to commute to Brits.

Candidate Profile

This role will suit an energetic, technically curious engineer who is comfortable on the plant floor, asks intelligent questions and wants to develop into a well-rounded manufacturing engineering professional.

The company is looking for potential, discipline and a strong learning mindset - not someone expecting to sit behind a desk and manage from a distance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
