What working here looks like
Tooling is based in Struandale, Gqeberha and supports customers in Markman, Coega, Kariega, Despatch and the Port Elizabeth CBD, with service reaching machine shops across South Africa. Our work covers CNC tooling, 3D printing, scanning, inspection and workshop support, so the pace is hands-on and varied. People who do well here are organised, communicate clearly, and can keep to tight tolerances without cutting corners.
We value proper follow-through, neat paperwork, safe working practices and a practical approach to solving shop-floor problems. Some days are quiet and focused, other days mean coordinating collections, checking runout, or helping a customer get back into production after an unplanned stop.
Roles we hire for
We do not look for one type of person only. Depending on the team need, we may hire for sales, applications, service, support and specialised technical roles. Experience in machining, metrology, additive manufacturing or workshop coordination is useful, but attitude and reliability matter just as much.
- Sales and customer support in machining and tooling
- Applications and technical advice for CNC users
- Service coordination, collections and delivery planning
- 3D printing and scanner support
- Workshop work such as inspection, cleaning and basic setup assistance
Skills that help you fit in
We work with tooling, holders, collets, workholding, presetting, scanning and printer support, so it helps if you understand how precision equipment behaves in real workshops. A calm approach under pressure is important, especially when a customer has an urgent job or load-shedding has interrupted production.
- Good numeracy and attention to detail
- Clear written and verbal communication
- Willingness to learn different machines and processes
- Basic computer confidence for quoting and admin
- Respect for safety, measurements and deadlines

A workplace built around service
Our customers rely on us for practical support, whether they need tool inspection, presetting, collection and delivery, or advice that keeps production moving. That means the team must be dependable, respectful and ready to work with local manufacturing realities, including humidity, power interruptions and the pressure of municipal or plant schedules.
