A client of Dynexity is looking for an experienced Mechanical Draughtsman with more than five years of experience in commercial and industrial hot water plantrooms. This is a hands-on draughting role for someone who can turn engineering ideas into practical, installation-ready drawings — from plantroom layouts and piping schematics to fabrication drawings for vessels and pipework.
About the company and the work
Dynexity (Pty) Ltd is an owner-run recruitment company. Its client works in the hot water and heat pump space, supplying and installing systems for commercial and industrial settings. The draughtsman joins that world: plantrooms full of heat pumps, storage vessels, pumps, valves and control panels, where a good drawing is what keeps manufacturing and site installation running smoothly. The listing gives the location only as South Africa, with no specific city stated, so confirm the work base on the original advert before applying.
Role details and duties
The work covers four main areas. In mechanical and plantroom design, you will develop detailed plantroom layouts and equipment arrangements, produce piping layouts, schematics, isometrics and installation drawings, design hot and cold-water reticulation systems, make sure layouts are practical, accessible and installation-friendly, and complete site measurements and as-built drawings where required. On electrical controls, you will produce control panel layouts, wiring diagrams and single-line diagrams, draft control and instrumentation schematics, coordinate mechanical and electrical interfaces for heat pumps, pumps and heaters, sensors and controllers, PLCs and BMS systems, VSDs and other control equipment, and prepare cable, equipment and instrumentation schedules. In fabrication and manufacturing, you will produce fabrication and manufacturing drawings for hot water storage vessels, pressure and non-pressure vessels, heat accumulators and buffer tanks, pipework and support structures, and coils, nozzles, manholes, saddles and lifting lugs, plus assembly and workshop drawings, coordinating drawings with manufacturing and installation teams. Finally, in project and documentation support, you will resolve design queries and support site teams, maintain drawing registers and revision control, prepare bills of materials, equipment schedules and manufacturing documentation, and make sure drawings meet project, fabrication and commissioning requirements.
Requirements
Only what the advert states is listed here:
– More than 5 years of mechanical draughting experience.
– Proven experience in commercial and industrial hot water plantrooms, mechanical piping, fabrication drawings and electrical control systems.
– Strong AutoCAD skills, with practical knowledge of heat pumps, hot water storage vessels, heat accumulators, pumps, valves, control panels and manufacturing requirements.
– Experience with site installations, plumbing and fabrication will be highly advantageous.
– Ability to interpret engineering specifications and technical drawings, and a practical understanding of installation and fabrication requirements.
The advert also lists technical knowledge across hot water systems (air-to-water heat pumps, storage vessels and heat accumulators, buffer tanks and inline heaters, circulation and booster pumps, ring mains and hot-water reticulation), mechanical and plumbing work (commercial plumbing systems; copper, stainless steel, HDPE, PPR and mild-steel piping; valves, fittings and piping accessories), electrical and controls (control panels and motor controls, single-line diagrams and electrical schematics, contactors, relays and VSDs, PLCs, sensors and instrumentation, BMS and Modbus, three-phase systems), fabrication (pressure and non-pressure vessels, structural steel and sheet-metal detailing, workshop manufacturing methods, fibreglass fabrication, heat-exchanger coil fabrication) and software (AutoCAD, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Inventor, Revit MEP, SolidWorks and Autodesk Plant 3D). The advert’s desired skills are listed as Mechanical, Hot Water Plantrooms, Control Systems, Fabrication, Plumbing, Drawings and AutoCAD.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on CareerJunction by Dynexity, and the Apply button on this page takes you to the original advert. Apply only through that original listing, and be wary of anyone asking you to pay a fee to apply — a genuine advert will not ask for payment.
Practical tips
Before you apply, gather examples of plantroom layouts, piping schematics and fabrication drawings you have produced, and be ready to talk through a project from first layout to installation. Mention your AutoCAD depth honestly, including any of the additional packages above, and note any site installation or plumbing experience, since the advert flags it as highly advantageous.
