Graduate / Candidate Engineer
- Execute water-audit fieldwork to our minimum standard - after supervised passes - with capture-error rates measured and falling.
- Draft structured report sections that survive review with diminishing red pen.
- Support design work: drawings coordination, calculations under supervision, site inspections and progress meetings.
- Register as an ECSA Candidate Engineer (if not already) with your logbook current from month one and quarterly mentor reviews on record.
- Own one improvement to the capture workflow - a validation rule, a checklist, a schema suggestion that makes the data better.
Must Have:
- Engineering degree. BEng / BSc in Civil, Mechanical, Chemical or Environmental Engineering from a recognised institution.
- ECSA pathway. Candidate Engineer registered or immediately eligible.
- 0-4 years' experience in a consulting or infrastructure environment - strong vacation and practical work counts.
- Structured technical writing. A report, thesis chapter or practical write-up you authored and can share.
- Strong academic record. Expected at this level; any repeated subjects declared upfront with context - declared repeats are considered, undeclared ones are disqualifying.
- Systems curiosity. You want to understand water infrastructure at systems level, not just the component in front of you.
- Driver's licence and own transport. Site travel across Gauteng and nationally is part of the role.
Strongly preferred:
- Water or treatment exposure (labs, plants, projects); CAD/Revit basics; spreadsheet or scripting ability (Excel to pivot level, Python a plus).
- A genuine, articulable interest in water in South Africa.
