Become the Engine Behind Smarter, More Connected Factories
If you’re excited by the idea of bridging cutting-edge digital tools with real manufacturing environments, this role will put you right where innovation meets impact. You’ll join the expanding world of Operational Technology, helping factories across Southern Africa work faster, smarter, and more efficiently through the power of SAP, Mendix, and modern automation systems.

What You’ll Bring
You’ll shine in this role if you have:

• Experience in mechatronic engineering
• Solid working knowledge of SAP
• 2 – 3 years’ exposure to Mendix or another low-code platform
• Understanding of PLC programming and industrial networks

• Curiosity, problem-solving ability, and comfort working with both IT and production teams

• Explore the Future of Digital Manufacturing
