Launch Your Engineering Career Beyond the Drawing Board

Build Real Mining Projects. Gain Commercial Exposure. Grow Into a Future Contracts Engineer.

A proudly South African engineering company with a strong international footprint is seeking two ambitious Junior Mechanical Engineers to join its Contracts Engineering Division.

Operating within the mining and minerals processing sector, this specialised OEM delivers advanced liquid -solid separation technologies to mining operations locally and globally. This opportunity is ideal for mechanically minded graduates or junior engineers who want to move beyond purely technical or workshop -based work and develop into commercially aware project and contracts engineering professionals.

If you are looking for a role where you can combine engineering knowledge with project coordination, supplier engagement, planning, budgeting, problem -solving, and client exposure — this opportunity offers exceptional long -term career growth.

About the Role

As a Junior Contracts Engineer, you will work alongside experienced engineering and project professionals who will mentor and develop you into independently managing multiple engineering contracts and projects.

Once projects are awarded by the sales team, you will become involved in the full project lifecycle — from understanding the technical scope and sourcing components, through fabrication and supplier coordination, all the way to installation and commissioning support.

This role offers exposure to both the technical and commercial sides of engineering and is ideal for candidates who enjoy variety, responsibility, and seeing projects come to life
