Department of Public Works recalls retired engineers and artisans

We heard from Thami Mchunu – Director of Media & Stakeholder Relations at the Department of Public Works. The Department is calling for qualified engineers or artisans with experience in construction and built environment to submit their CVs. The aim of the exercise is to create a database of engineers and artisans so that they can be utilized in assisting the Department to deliver on its infrastructure mandate, job creation and contribute to sustainable skills. According to Thami, unqualified artisans will be trained as apprentices in the departmental workshops, with the ultimate aim of having them successfully pass a trade test in order to become qualified artisans. Interested engineers and artisans are urged to submit their CV’s at the nearest regional office of the Department of Public Works or call 0800 782 542.
