Life at Deswik

At Deswik, you’ll join a stable, global company with a strong presence in South Africa. You’ll enjoy hybrid working (two days WFH, three in our Roodepoort office), combined with travel to mine sites across the region. That travel gives you the chance to broaden your experience, solve diverse operational challenges, and grow your consulting expertise.
  
You’ll be part of a collaborative team of mining engineers and software specialists who value practical solutions, not just theory.
  

The Work:

You’ll work directly with customers to scope projects, implement solutions, and train teams on Deswik’s specialised software suite. Expect variety - no two sites or customers are the same. You’ll spend time on site helping operations to roll out Deswik, build trusted relationships, and provide feedback to our product teams to ensure software stays relevant to real-world mining.
  

About You: 

  • A degree in Mining Engineering (or equivalent)
  • Site-based experience as a Mining Engineer
  • An experienced user of Deswik software (CAD, IS/Sched, MDM)
  • Able to translate operational needs into software solutions
  • Experience implementing enterprise software, preferably on a mine site.
  • Clear, confident communication in English, with the ability to influence and manage customer relationships
  • A willingness to travel regularly across Sub-Saharan Africa
  • Experience training others to use software

Nice to have:

skills in PowerBI/data analytics.
