‘The opportunity to apply my engineering skills and knowledge’
‘I love engineering and the company affords me the opportunity to apply my engineering skills and knowledge. Evraz Highveld is a big company with extensive rules and procedures to be followed. Change is frequently happening in the company and adapting to these poses a challenge. Those who thrive here are dedicated individuals who are results orientated: people who can work in a multicultural environment and at multiple levels.’
