Willingness to travel locally and globally to make your designs come to life

What You’ll Be Doing:

Getting involved in P&IDs, factory layouts, and technical manuals

What’s In It For You?

A competitive cost-to-company package
Medical aid, retirement benefits, and more
Serious career growth and development opportunities
