Careers

At Deburring, we hire people who are practical, accurate and comfortable working with sheet metal machinery and customers. From Wadeville, Germiston, we support manufacturers across South Africa with deburring and edge-finishing equipment.

Careers

What working here looks like

We are a South African trade team that works with laser-cut sheet metal fabricators every day, so the pace is steady, hands-on and focused on getting the job done right. Our work touches machine installation, service visits, sample part testing, training and support for clients in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, Rustenburg and surrounding industrial areas.

People who fit in well here are dependable, detail-minded and willing to learn the practical side of metal finishing. You will be part of a team that values clear communication, safe work habits and proper follow-through on every job, whether it is a site visit in Gauteng or support for a plant dealing with load-shedding, humidity near the coast or a tight production schedule.

Roles we often recruit for

We do not publish a fixed vacancy list on this page, but we do look for people in several types of roles as the business grows. If your experience is in machine sales, field service, workshop work or technical support, you may be a good fit.

  • Sales and customer support for fabricators and manufacturers
  • Service and breakdown assistance for deburring machines
  • Workshop assembly, testing and machine preparation
  • Applications support, sample testing and process advice
  • Administration and coordination linked to service visits and spares

Skills that matter to us

Experience is important, but so is attitude. We need people who can work carefully, handle industrial equipment with respect and keep clients informed without overpromising. Basic mechanical understanding, good numeracy and the ability to read drawings or machine settings are useful across many roles.

It also helps if you are organised and calm under pressure, especially when a client has production deadlines or a machine needs attention quickly. A valid driver’s licence can be helpful for field-based roles, and a willingness to travel to sites around South Africa is often important.

Our team environment

Our base in Wadeville, Germiston keeps us close to major transport routes and many of the manufacturers we serve. That means the work is practical, fast-moving and focused on real production needs, not theory. We support each other with proper handover notes, honest feedback and technical backup when a problem is not straightforward.

  • Clear communication between sales, service and workshop teams
  • Respect for safety, machine care and site rules
  • Support for learning on the job
  • Attention to quality in every machine handover

We also understand that South African manufacturing has its own pressures, from power interruptions to maintenance shutdowns, so we look for people who can stay flexible and think ahead. Small details matter here, and a missed setting can affect an entire batch.

How to apply

If you would like to join Deburring, please send your CV through the enquiry form on our contact page and mention the type of role you are interested in. If possible, include a short note about your experience with sheet metal machinery, servicing, sales or workshop support.

Why people choose to stay

People tend to stay where the work is meaningful, the standards are clear and the team knows how to support one another. At Deburring, you are helping South African fabricators improve finish quality, reduce rework and keep production moving with less hassle.

For the right person, this is steady work with room to build real experience in industrial machinery, customer support and service delivery. It suits people who want to be useful, learn the trade properly and work with a company that takes its commitments seriously.
