This business consists of its main plant (Workshop) in Jhb that does some manufacturing for OEM's (components for reciprocating compressors) but most of the business repairs are for components in the Workshop (e.g. valves, pistons, packing boxes, piston rods, gear boxes, pumps etc.) for customers, especially in the oil and gas industry. In addition, the Operations Manager supervises three Field Service Engineers who do the repairs on site at the customer's plant throughout South Africa and Sub-Sahara Africa. It should be noted that there are small Workshops in two of the African countries. The current Operations Manager is being transferred to a sister business overseas resulting in this vacancy.
