An experienced Maintenance Manager is wanted for a permanent role in the Overberg, Western Cape, where you will lead the maintenance function for a national household brand in the beverage sector. Applications close on November 13, 2026, so this is a short-window opportunity for a trade-tested maintenance professional who is ready to take ownership of plant reliability and a hands-on maintenance team.
About the company and the work
The position is advertised through Western Cape Recruitment, a recruitment agency previously known as Visp Service that connects candidates with opportunities across the Western Cape. The client is a national household brand in the beverage sector, and the successful candidate will look after its plants in the Overberg area. The work is practical and hands-on: keeping production machinery running, planning maintenance properly instead of reacting to breakdowns, and making sure the plants meet safety, health and environmental requirements. The advert states that the role involves hands-on management of all machinery, so this is not a desk-only management post.
Role details and duties
As Maintenance Manager, you will lead a maintenance team and take responsibility for the reliability of the plants in the Overberg area. Your duties will include leading the maintenance team, developing and implementing preventative maintenance programs, carrying out maintenance planning, managing maintenance projects, and ensuring compliance with safety, health and environmental regulations. You will also take on hands-on management of all machinery as part of your portfolio. The role is permanent, the salary is market related, and the reference number is CPT000175/SLG. Please note that the same vacancy is also listed for the wider Western Cape and in a longer-running Overberg posting; this post covers the Overberg listing closing on November 13, 2026, and applicants should confirm the work location in the original advert.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here:
- N6 with a trade test as a Fitter & Turner, or an equivalent qualification.
- A minimum of 5 years of working experience in a maintenance environment.
- 3 years of management experience in a maintenance role.
- Proficiency in MS Office and relevant maintenance software programs.
- A valid South African driver’s licence.
- Willingness and ability to relocate.
The advert states no separate experience level label, so none is shown in the job details on this page.
Where to find and apply safely
This opportunity is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page links to the original listing. Apply only through that original listing and be cautious of anyone who asks you to pay a fee or share banking details to secure an interview. The advert notes that this is an external application, so you will complete the employer’s own application process after clicking through.
Practical tips
- Lead with your trade test and N6 qualification, and show how your 5 years of maintenance experience and 3 years of maintenance management experience fit this role.
- Give concrete examples of preventative maintenance programs you have developed or run, and of projects you have managed.
- Show your working knowledge of maintenance software and MS Office, and mention your safety, health and environmental compliance experience.
- Confirm clearly that you hold a valid South African driver’s licence and that you are willing and able to relocate to the Overberg area.
- Apply before the November 13, 2026 closing date, as this listing has a short window.
How the process works
Use the Apply button to reach the original Careers24 listing and follow its application instructions. The advert notes that if you have not received any feedback within 2 weeks after your application, you should consider your application unsuccessful.
