Graduate Mechanical Project Engineer

What if your first engineering role wasn't about maintaining systems... but helping build them?

Some engineers spend years waiting for the opportunity to make a real impact. Others start from day one. We're looking for ambitious Graduate Mechanical Engineers who want more than a desk-bound design role. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of engineering, project execution, and innovation within a highly specialised industry that plays a critical role in sustainable infrastructure and industrial development. You will be exposed to real-world engineering projects, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and gain hands-on experience in the delivery of complex mechanical systems from concept through to commissioning. Duties & Responsibilities

What You'll Be Involved In

• Assisting with the design, planning, and execution of engineering projects

• Supporting project managers and senior engineers throughout project lifecycles

• Coordinating technical information between clients, suppliers, and project teams

• Monitoring project schedules, budgets, and deliverables

• Participating in site visits, inspections, and commissioning activities

• Preparing technical reports, documentation, and project updates

• Driving continuous improvement and engineering excellence across projects

Minimum Requirements

• BEng or BSc Mechanical Engineering

• Recent graduate or up to 2 years of engineering experience

• Strong technical aptitude and problem-solving abilities

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

• Ability to work independently and within project teams

• A willingness to travel to project sites when required

• Valid driver's licence advantageous

What We're Looking For

We want engineers who ask questions. Engineers who enjoy solving problems that don't have textbook answers. Engineers who want exposure to projects, clients, suppliers, and real operational environments instead of waiting years for responsibility to come their way. If you're motivated by learning, growth, and the opportunity to contribute to meaningful engineering projects, we'd like to hear from you. Apply today by sending your CV to: wgouws@networkrecruitment.co.za If you have not received feedback within 14 days of your application, please consider your application unsuccessful.
