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.
This is your chance to be at the forefront of digital transformation — where IT, engineering, and manufacturing all converge.

POSITION INFO:
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
A passion for linking software with real industrial operations
Curiosity, problem-solving ability, and comfort working with both IT and production teams

What You’ll Be Doing

Explore the Future of Digital Manufacturing
Gain hands-on exposure to SAP’s digital manufacturing capabilities and discover how OT systems integrate with enterprise technology.
Build & Connect Systems That Matter
Integrate OT tools with SAP or approved third-party software to streamline and automate processes across multiple factories.
Create Smart, Low-Code Solutions
Use (or further develop) your low-code skills in Mendix, Neptune, or similar tools to digitise processes that SAP doesn’t cover — shaping solutions that teams actually use daily.
Standardise & Scale New Innovations
Help formalise app development processes to ensure smooth, controlled rollouts across the organisation.
Be the Bridge Between Tech & Operations
Collaborate closely with the Mendix Developer / Business Project Engineer and act as a vital link between Group IT/SAP and the manufacturing floor.
Use Your Automation Know-How
Apply your understanding of SCADA, DCS, HMI, electrical principles, instrumentation, and control engineering to enhance OT initiatives.

Apply!
