The Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT) invites two
engineers to be part of its next voyage to the Antarctica which is certain to
be an opportunity of a lifetime.
The South African National Antarctic Programme (Sanap), the Antartica
programme of DEAT, is searching for a Mechanical Engineer and an Electronic
Engineer to be part of the next Antarctic over wintering team. The selected
engineers will be expected to embark on a training programme before the
departure scheduled for 4 December 2007.
The Mechanical Engineer will be responsible for a specialised vehicle fleet
and all mechanical systems and the Electronic Engineer will be responsible for
all electronic equipment as the base in the Antarica is operating on a computer
monitoring system.
Prospective candidates will be qualified engineers and/ or have extensive
experience with a technikon qualification.
In addition to an adventure of a lifetime, competitive salaries are
offered.
South African National Antarctic Programme (Sanap) is responsible for the
logistics and scientific support to the Marion and Gough islands and Antarctica
South African base stations. Expedition members are recruited annually to over
winter in these three bases (13 to 15 months).
