About the role

About the opportunity

Inademy presents you with a specific workplace: Sasol, an international group operating in chemicals and energy, is opening the position of Maintenance and Engineering Planner for its operation in Temane, Inhambane province. The internal job reference is 13147 and the post falls under the company's regional operations and asset services area in Mozambique.

The core of the role: ensuring maintenance is well planned so that equipment remains available, the plant produces more, and maintenance costs do not spiral. The work connects planning, resources, spare parts, and people. The application deadline is September 16, 2026, and applications are submitted on Sasol's official recruitment site (the link appears in the "How to apply" section).

Transparency note: the job advert does not state a salary. Sasol determines the final figure during the selection process — this matter is handled by the company, not Inademy.

What you will do day-to-day

Bridge the gap between maintenance, production, and other support areas: your role is to ensure each work order has people, parts, and equipment allocated before work begins.
Anticipate and eliminate delays: calibrate labor, deadlines, and materials for each task so that the facility does not come to a halt.
Manage short- and long-term planning, analyze and prioritize the backlog according to available resources.
Serve as the central source of information regarding maintenance work, equipment status, and repairs.
Gather feedback from completed jobs and propose improvements for future planned tasks.
Support IPF and CPF teams in designing and implementing the resource allocation and scheduling tool.
Maintain reliable master data in the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS): technical objects, planning BOM, task lists, durations, and tools.
Conduct manual (hands-on) equipa observations to fine-tune task lists and resource planning.
Update maintenance strategies within the CMMS.
Establish, maintain, and improve work management processes, with accurate and equipaly reporting.
Plan and manage contracted labor, equipment, and maintenance materials.
Support the team's business planning: budgeting, execution, cost control, and reporting of results.

Who fits

You are someone who thinks in systems: when a maintenance task needs to move forward, you can see the parts, personnel, and equipment before anything goes wrong. You like structure, seeing the backlog shrink, and measuring the impact of your planning in concrete figures — availability, cost, production. You work hand-in-hand with operations and other disciplines, because maintenance only works as a team.

You have the patience to maintain exact records and the initiative to correct the plan when results fall short.

What we offer

On-site position at the Temane facility, Inhambane province.
Joining a chemical and energy company with a global presence and an established technical team in Mozambique.
Training and career development opportunities that the company states it reserves for its teams.
Participation in the local content sector, with a direct impact on the country's industrial operations.
Salary and conditions: the advert does not publish figures — these are left for discussion with Sasol.

How to apply

Open the official job posting on the Sasol careers website, check reference 13147 and fill out the form. The deadline is September 16, 2026. Submit well in advance, as the platform may require prior registration and connectivity in remote areas can be unstable.

Before submitting, tailor your CV to what the company asks for: the requirements section of this posting outlines the key points, item by item. A valid precaution for any application process: legitimate recruitment never charges candidates money — if anyone asks for money on behalf of Sasol, do not proceed.

On Inademy's end, you can create a free profile to save your resume and cover letter ready for reuse, and activate job alerts for new maintenance and energy sector opportunities via email and WhatsApp. Application tracking and subsequent stages are handled by Sasol on its own portal.
