Job description

As Mechanical Engineer, you will deliver mechanical engineering design and technical support across multidisciplinary EPCM projects in the mining and minerals processing sector. You will build your technical depth through hands‑on involvement in detailed engineering, procurement support, construction and commissioning, working alongside experienced engineers on real capital projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare engineering calculations, datasheets and specifications for mechanical equipment and systems.
• Develop mechanical layouts and material handling designs in line with project requirements and applicable codes.
• Support vendor evaluations and procurement activities, reviewing technical submissions for compliance.
• Participate in design reviews and constructability assessments, contributing practical engineering input.
• Coordinate interfaces with other disciplines to ensure designs integrate cleanly across the project.
• Review vendor documentation for technical accuracy and compliance with specifications.
• Provide construction and commissioning support, resolving technical queries arising on site.
• Assist with project close‑out activities, including as‑built documentation and lessons learned.

You must have:

• A BEng or BSc in Mechanical Engineering.
• A minimum of five years' experience in EPCM, consulting engineering or mining project environments.
• Sound technical knowledge of mechanical equipment, material handling systems and design standards.

It would advantage you to have:

• ECSA registration (or candidate registration in progress).
• Experience with mining or minerals processing equipment specifically.
• Exposure to construction and commissioning phases of capital projects.

Competencies and Attributes:

• Technical foundation: Applies sound mechanical engineering principles confidently across design and field environments.
• Problem‑solving: Works through technical challenges methodically, drawing on first principles where standard solutions do not apply.
• Collaboration: Works effectively both independently and within multidisciplinary project teams.
• Attention to detail: Produces calculations, specifications and drawings that withstand rigorous design review.

Why Join Mventech Group?

At Mventech Group, you will work alongside experienced engineers and consultants on complex, high-impact projects across the mining and resources sector. We invest in our people through structured mentorship, exposure to multidisciplinary EPCM (engineering, procurement, and construction management) work, and clear pathways for professional registration and career progression. As a growing firm, we offer the agility and visibility of a smaller practice combined with the calibre of projects typically associated with major consultancies. You will contribute directly to decisions that shape project outcomes, build close working relationships with clients, and see the tangible impact of your work on sites across Southern Africa and beyond.

We are committed to technical excellence, integrity, and continuous learning.
