Maintenance Engineer

Recruite Agency

A rewarding career opportunity exists for a Maintenance Engineer to work on transformative civil engineering projects in the Polokwane region. This role involves applying engineering knowledge to design, assess, and deliver projects that meet technical, environmental, and budgetary requirements. You will be part of a team committed to engineering excellence. Responsibilities Conduct regular site inspections to monitor construction quality and identify any deviations from design that require corrective action or design adjustments. Ensure all designs comply with relevant standards and regulations including those related to structural safety, environmental protection, and construction health and safety. Conduct site investigations and surveys to gather essential data about ground conditions, existing infrastructure, and environmental constraints that influence design decisions. Prepare technical reports and project documentation that clearly communicate engineering decisions and recommendations to clients, authorities, and other stakeholders. Prepare detailed civil engineering designs including calculations, drawings, and specifications for infrastructure projects such as roads, drainage, and earthworks. Review and approve technical submittals from contractors including material proposals, temporary works designs, and quality control documentation. Coordinate with architects, planners, environmental specialists, and other stakeholders to integrate civil engineering requirements within broader project objectives and constraints. Prepare cost estimates and project programmes for civil engineering works to support budget development and project planning activities from feasibility through to delivery. Manage construction phase activities by monitoring contractor progress, reviewing method statements, and ensuring works comply with approved designs and specifications. Perform structural analysis and design calculations for bridges, retaining walls, foundations, and other civil engineering structures using current design codes and standards. Requirements Knowledge of construction methods and the ability to assess the buildability and constructability of civil engineering designs in real-world conditions. Excellent report writing skills with the ability to produce clear and concise technical documents suitable for clients, regulators, and other stakeholders. Understanding of health and safety regulations including the Construction Design and Management Regulations and their application to civil engineering projects. Strong technical knowledge of civil engineering principles including structural analysis, geotechnics, hydraulics, and materials science applied to infrastructure projects. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to evaluate complex engineering challenges and develop practical and cost-effective solutions. A commitment to sustainable design principles and the ability to consider environmental impacts throughout the engineering design and decision-making process. Understanding of relevant design standards including Eurocodes and industry-specific guidance documents applicable to civil engineering structures and infrastructure. Effective communication and teamwork skills for collaborating with colleagues from different engineering disciplines and external project partners. Experience with ground investigation techniques and the ability to interpret geotechnical data to inform foundation and earthworks design decisions. Proficiency in civil engineering design software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, MicroDrainage, or similar tools for producing high-quality design documentation. Qualifications - Postgraduate diploma in a specialist area such as Geotechnical Engineering, Water Engineering, or Transportation Engineering from an accredited programme. - Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Structural Engineering from an accredited institution with studies covering core civil engineering disciplines. - Chartered Engineer status or progress towards professional registration with a recognised engineering institution such as the Institution of Civil Engineers. - Relevant industrial experience of at least two years in a civil engineering design or construction role with exposure to infrastructure project delivery. - Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related specialism with advanced knowledge in a specific area of civil engineering practice.
