About Us

Ground 2 Tap is a fast-growing engineering company on a mission to make water reliable across Southern Africa.

We design and build cutting-edge water treatment systems that deliver peace of mind, cost savings, and resilience for homes, businesses, and communities. We’re known for doing things right — and we’re growing fast.

Why This Role Matters

We’re looking for a sharp, ambitious Junior Engineer to join our design team at the forefront of water technology.

From day one, you’ll be designing real systems that go into the field — not just paper projects.

You’ll get to

• Lead design work on bespoke water treatment systems,
• Learn directly from senior engineers and field experts,
• See your designs come alive on-site through installation and commissioning, and
• Contribute to product innovation in one of the fastest-evolving sectors in engineering.

If you want a role where your work matters from day one, and where learning curves are steep but rewarding, this is it.

What You’ll Do

• Design, draft, and develop water treatment systems using AutoCAD and engineering tools.
• Run system calculations and apply engineering fundamentals to solve design challenges.
• Prepare schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and system documentation.
• Collaborate with project managers and field teams to ensure designs translate into real-world reliability.
• Join site visits to observe installations and support commissioning where needed.
• Feed learnings back into product design and process improvements.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or Chemical).
• 0–3 years of experience (graduates welcome — but top-tier performers only).
• Strong academic track record and problem-solving mindset.
• Confident with AutoCAD (2+ years practical exposure preferred).
• Exposure to PLC programming and electro-mechanical systems is a plus.
• Valid driver’s license and own transport.
• Currently based in Cape Town.

What We Offer

• Salary: R23,000 – R30,000/month CTC
• Work at the cutting edge of water technology and product development.
• A fast-paced, engineering-led culture where you’ll grow fast.
• Direct access to senior engineers and leadership.
• The chance to see your designs in action — not just on screen.
• A team that values precision, ownership, and curiosity.

Apply If You’re Ready To

• Build real systems that make water reliable.
• Learn fast, work hard, and grow into a Project Engineer.
• Take ownership of your designs and see them through to reality.
• Be part of a company that’s changing how water works in Southern Africa.
