Upon completion of studies ArcelorMittal South Africa has an exciting career opportunity for graduates to acquire work experience and apply theoretical knowledge in any of our world class manufacturing industry through our candidate engineer programme. Will I have support? Mentors are allocated to all successful bursars.
