GATEWAY TO BROADEN
LOCAL CIVIL EXPERIENCE
WITH INTERNATIONAL
EXPOSURE
We have built strong
relations with some of our
most impressive local
civil infrastructure
experts. Many of their
success stories have been
published in top industry
journals and they have
received a place of honour
on our website under
‘Customer Showcases’. Our
partnership with one of
Ireland’s leading
recruitment agencies has
therefore provided our
civil engineering
community with an
opportunity to expand
their experience with some
international exposure.
Ireland has expressed an
interest in South Africa
to help address their
growing skills shortage in
the construction
profession. All positions
are offered on a
contractual basis and
range between one and
three years. Civil
Engineers who are
therefore in need of
applying their skills
while accumulating
invaluable international
exposure may now have such
an opportunity with the
partnership.
Contractual positions are
accompanied by attractive
salary packages most of
which include company
benefits such as pension,
health and a parking
allowance. For more
information, visit

Customer Quote

“We used Civil Designer to
design the horizontal and
vertical alignments and
found the program
especially useful in
calculating the cut and
fill volumes in the
development of the road. I
have worked with the
software since the days of
Stardust and the program
has just grown from
strength to strength”
