SUMMARY:

Junior Mechanical Engineer – Build the Foundations of High-Performance Design
Every great piece of engineering begins with a question: How can this be better?
If you are a Junior Mechanical Engineer with a passion for analysis, design, and understanding how things perform under real-world conditions, this opportunity offers more than just a job. It offers a platform to grow into the kind of engineer who doesn’t just follow designs, but improves them.
Based in the East Rand, this role is ideal for someone early in their career who is ready to take theoretical knowledge and turn it into practical, measurable impact. You will be exposed to projects that challenge your thinking, refine your technical skills, and build your experience in a fast-paced engineering environment.

POSITION INFO:

The Role
You will support the design and development of mechanical systems, with a strong focus on finite element analysis. Your work will contribute to improving product performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Key Responsibilities

Assist in mechanical design and development of components and systems
Perform FEA simulations to evaluate stress, strain, and structural integrity
Support project work, including design modifications and documentation
Collaborate with senior engineers and cross-functional teams
Contribute to problem solving and continuous improvement initiatives

What We’re Looking For

Degree in Mechanical Engineering
Up to 3 years’ experience in mechanical design and FEA
Exposure to simulation tools and CAD software
Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail
Eagerness to learn and grow within a technical environment
Any project experience will be advantageous

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a chance to learn by doing. To move beyond theory and actively contribute to engineering solutions that matter. You will gain hands-on experience, work alongside experienced professionals, and develop skills that will define your career trajectory.
If you are ready to take the next step and apply your engineering knowledge in a meaningful way, this opportunity is worth exploring.
Please send your CV to:
If you have not had any response in two weeks, please consider your application unsuccessful.
