Cape Town based · Recruiting across South Africa
Discuss your role directly with CME.
Recruit for the equipment and responsibilities in your plant
A job title alone does not establish suitability. A maintenance role in food production may require high-speed machinery experience, while another plant may need a different electrical, mechanical or process background. Tell us which experience is essential and which skills can be developed on site.
- Millwrights, electricians and maintenance fitters
- Plant technicians and technical support staff
- Engineers and engineering appointments
- Maintenance supervisors and engineering leadership
What to include in a technical recruitment brief
- Trade qualification or engineering qualification required
- Machinery, controls, production processes and plant environment
- Fault-finding, breakdown and planned maintenance responsibilities
- Shift pattern, standby, overtime and reporting arrangements
- Workplace location, salary range, employment type and required start date
Agree the role, the search and the next step.
Discuss the technical requirements with CME before the search begins. Agree the recruitment terms and the relevant qualifications, equipment knowledge and experience to assess. For senior engineering appointments or a particularly scarce skill, Search Consultancy can form part of the brief.
