Introduction
Are you a seasoned millwright or electrician with a strong background in both mechanical and electrical maintenance? MPRTC Recruitment has an exciting opportunity for you as a **Senior Maintenance Coordinator – Electrical & Mechanical** in Elandsfontein, Johannesburg. This is a permanent role that offers you the chance to lead a skilled maintenance team, work in a dynamic manufacturing environment, and reduce downtime through effective preventative maintenance. If you enjoy both hands‑on technical work and leadership, this role gives you the platform to make a real impact.
About the Role
As the Senior Maintenance Coordinator for Electrical & Mechanical at Elandsfontein, you will manage all maintenance activities to keep machinery and equipment running efficiently. Your days will involve supervising maintenance technicians, planning and overseeing preventative maintenance, and ensuring you’re minimising breakdowns. You’ll be responsible for fault finding, especially electrical and mechanical issues, making sure PLC systems are working properly, and using Microsoft Office tools to manage schedules, reports, and inventories. Working in this role means you are the bridge between technical maintenance work and strategic uptime goals.
Who Should Apply
This role is perfect for someone with at least 10 years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing setting. You need to have technical training – an N4 to N6 qualification or something equivalent – and a recognised trade test as a Millwright, Electrician or similar. Leadership experience is critical: five or more years supervising teams or coordinating others. If you’re someone who thrives solving mechanical faults, understands electrical systems, has worked with PLCs, and can take responsibility, you’ll shine here. Also, strong communications and organisational skills will help you lead effectively and liaise with other departments.

- Recognised trade test (Electrician, Millwright, or similar).
- At least 10 years experience in a maintenance role in a manufacturing environment.
- Five or more years in a leadership or supervisory role.
- Strong knowledge of both electrical and mechanical systems, including fault finding skills.
- Experience working with PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers).
- Competent in Microsoft Office (for planning, reporting, scheduling).
- Good organisational skills, ability to manage spare parts, downtime records, and maintenance schedules.
- Strong safety awareness and ability to enforce safety in a manufacturing setting.
Benefits
In this role with MPRTC, you’ll get more than just a job. You’ll have stability through a permanent position, the chance to work in a large manufacturing facility where the work you do truly matters. Leading a team offers opportunities to develop leadership and supervisory skills. Preventative maintenance and downtime reduction responsibilities will allow you to build a track record of reliability that employers value. The company’s culture is likely to reward technical excellence, safety, and commitment. Plus, being situated in Johannesburg’s Eastern Suburbs means easy access to many amenities and a networked industrial environment. Although specific salary isn’t listed, being “market‑related” suggests you’ll be reasonably compensated for your skills and experience.
How to Apply
If this sounds like you, here’s what to do next: Prepare your updated CV that clearly shows your trade test qualification, years of experience, PLC work, fault finding in electrical and mechanical systems, and leadership history. Submit your CV and any relevant qualification certificates through the MPRTC application channels referencing job code NEL012230. Make sure your application demonstrates how you meet the key requirements. MPRTC may conduct background checks (criminal, fraud, ITC, employment references) during recruitment. Give it at least 14 days; if you don’t hear back by then, consider your application unsuccessful.
Closing Thoughts
