Aftermarket Sales & Service Engineer (Junior) | Mining Process Equipment

A specialist mining OEM that designs, builds and commissions mineral processing plants is growing its Contracts and Aftermarket team. They supply Minerals Processing Equipment to mines locally and internationally.

This is a hands-on technical-commercial role for an early-career engineer who wants more than a desk job. You'll be on mine sites around 70% of the time, inspecting and fixing equipment, then turning what you find into spares, service and upgrade orders. You'll be trained on the job by an experienced aftermarket team, with a company vehicle provided.

• Carry out site inspections, troubleshooting and service work on installed process equipment
  
• Support installations, FATs and commissioning
  
• Identify critical spares and wear-part trends during every visit, and convert them into orders
  
• Spot upgrade and retrofit opportunities before equipment fails, and build the business case for the client
  
• Issue clear, structured service reports within 48 hours of each visit
  
• Mobilise quickly to breakdowns and aim to fix issues first time
  
• Grow aftermarket revenue in your region while sticking to approved pricing
  
• Build long-term client relationships and resolve technical issues before they escalate
  
• Work safely and keep permits, toolbox talks and records in order on site.
  
  

Requirements

• A Mechanical Trade / Diploma.
  
• Hands-on experience with site work, maintenance, service or commissioning is advantageous.
  
• Exposure to Minerals Processing Plants (ideally: thickeners, clarifiers, flotation cells, vacuum belt filters or filter presses)
  
• A genuine interest in the commercial side: quoting, spares and growing revenue.
  
• Able to travel around 70% of the time, locally and internationally
  
• Valid driver's licence and a valid passport; a European passport would be beneficial
  
• Disciplined report writing and a strong safety mindset.
  

Benefits

• Phone allowance of R1,000 per month
