Description du poste
About the role Provide CAD design, 3D printing and rapid-prototyping support across the plant by producing accurate engineering drawings, jigs, fixtures, tooling aids, gauges and functional prototypes, in compliance with applicable SANS standards and the National Building Regulations (NBR) where designs interface with site structures, safety systems or facilities infrastructure. Operate, maintain and optimise the plant's 3D printing equipment to reduce lead time and cost versus outsourced or purchased parts, support Industrial Engineering, Maintenance, Quality and Production with fast, reliable design-to-print solutions, and own the site's archive of CAD data, drawings and design/print records to ensure a complete, accurate and retrievable engineering record for the plant. What you'll do 1.1 Non-negotiable behaviours Own the process, not the opinion: bring data, facts, root cause, options. Bias to action: raise issues early, propose containment + permanent fix, follow through. Standardise then improve: build/maintain standard work and then optimise it. Digital-first mindset: eliminate repeat manual work; automate, template, or systemise. Professional discipline: on-time delivery of commitments; clear escalation when blocked. 1.2 Self-development ownership (explicit expectation) Each engineer/lead is accountable for maintaining role competence and must: Maintain an annual Individual Development Plan (IDP) with manager sign-off. Complete minimum agreed learning (minimum: 40 hours/year). Demonstrate skills through applied deliverables (dashboards, macros, standards, project results), not certificates only. Maintain a personal "automation backlog": top recurring tasks to digitise/automate. 1.3 Minimum digital competence baseline (plant standard) Each role is expected to be competent in: Excel at working professional level: tables, pivot tables, XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, charts Data shaping: Power Query (or equivalent) Basic automation: macros/VBA or scripted automation (where permitted) Structured problem solving: A3 / 8D, Pareto, 5-Why, fishbone Presenting in 1-page formats (A3, scorecards) for decision-making Key accountabilities CAD design and drawings: Create, modify and maintain accurate 2D drawings and 3D CAD models for jigs, fixtures, tooling, gauges, guards and workstation aids, following engineering and dimensioning standards (GD&T).
