Job Ref:

NCM002730/KMa

Date posted:

Monday, February 9, 2026

Location:

Johannesburg, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Are you a sharp-thinking Design Engineer who thrives on solving complex engineering challenges? Do you enjoy wet services design, have a solid grasp of hydraulics, and want to expand your exposure to fire engineering, wet services and HVAC and complete your Pr.Eng ?
We’re looking for a Mechanical or Civil Engineer with strong design capability and the mindset of a problem-solver someone who can adapt quickly, learn fast, and think independently. You don’t need to be a dedicated Fire Engineer or Building Services Design Engineer (we know how rare they are!) — but exposure to fire systems will give you an edge.

POSITION INFO:
What You’ll Be Working On
Wet services design (water, drainage & hot water systems)
Hydraulics and booster pump designs
Drainage system layouts
Hot water plant design
Exposure to fire protection and sprinkler systems
Rational designs (advantageous)
Retail / commercial projects (beneficial)

What We’re Looking For
Senior-level Engineer with ±4 to 8 years’ experience
Strong background in hydraulics (water) design is essential, but negotiable
Ideally from Retail Wet Services
We are willing to look at an Engineer from HVAC who wants new exposure in Wet Services
We are willing to look at Building Services Design Engineers

Familiarity with:
SANS 10252 Parts 1 & 2 (Water & Drainage)
SANS 10400 T (Fire)
SANS 10400 P (Plumbing)
(You don’t need to know them off by heart — but you must have worked with them)
BEng or BSc preferred; BTech would be considered if you have worked in the above industry
(Technicians with a PrTechEng, may be considered if experience is strong)
Pr Eng registered or close to registration is advantageous
Solid employment history
Valid driver’s licence & own vehicle (site visits required)
Permanent position
Office-based preferred
Site attendance required when needed
