A Millwright opportunity is open in the Cape Winelands through NDC Personnel & Contractors CC, a recruitment specialist placing technical and engineering staff with employers in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. This is a permanent role for a hands-on maintenance professional who can keep production machinery running, find faults quickly, and fix them properly.
About the company and the work
NDC Personnel & Contractors CC was established in 2000 and has grown into a market leader in the recruitment and placement of specialised technical and engineering staff for the FMCG, production, manufacturing, engineering, maritime and construction industries. The company handles permanent placements as well as contract staffing, and supports clients with confidential professional resumes, reference checks, background research and verification of work experience and credentials where requested.
The client behind this vacancy operates in the FMCG sector, where production lines run to tight schedules and unplanned downtime is costly. The millwright therefore sits at the centre of the operation: when a machine stops, falters or drifts out of specification, it is the millwright who diagnoses the problem and gets production moving again.
Role details and duties
The role is based in the Western Cape, advertised for the Cape Winelands, and is a permanent appointment. The salary is stated as market related. The advert’s reference number is 4391, and applications close on 28 December 2026 on the linked listing.
Day-to-day, the millwright will be tasked with:
- Performing planned and reactive maintenance on production machinery.
- Fault-finding on mechanical equipment to identify the root cause of breakdowns.
- Carrying out repairs that restore machines to safe, reliable working order.
- Supporting steady production by keeping equipment available and in good condition.
Because the advert itself is brief, the exact plant, shift pattern and reporting line are not spelled out. Applicants should confirm those practical details with the recruiter before accepting any offer.
Requirements
The advert does not list a formal qualification or a minimum number of years of experience as a requirement. It states only the role, the sector and the application route. That does not mean experience is irrelevant for a millwright post: in practice, employers in this field usually look for trade training and proven maintenance experience, so candidates should be ready to show evidence of their skills and work history when they apply. Confirm exactly what the client expects in the original advert or with the recruiter.
To apply, candidates send their CV to NDC Personnel and Contractors at [email protected] or [email protected], as instructed in the advert.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 advert linked from this page, or through the application details given in that advert. Do not pay anyone for a job offer, an interview slot or placement, and do not share bank details or identity documents with anyone who contacts you outside the official application route. NDC Personnel & Contractors states that it adheres to the requirements of the POPI Act in handling applicant information.
Practical tips
- Put the reference number 4391 in the subject line of your application so it reaches the right vacancy.
- Keep your CV focused on maintenance and fault-finding work: the types of machines you have maintained, the breakdowns you have resolved, and any planned-maintenance programmes you have supported.
- List your trade credentials and any safety training clearly, even though the advert does not spell out a minimum requirement.
- Check that your contact details are current, since the recruiter will use them to arrange the next steps.
How the process works
Applications go to NDC Personnel and Contractors, which screens candidates for its FMCG client. Shortlisted applicants can expect further screening, which may include reference checks and verification of work experience and credentials. NDC states that if you have not heard from them within 14 days of applying, you should consider your application unsuccessful.
