From our well equipped Training Centre in Germiston we train apprentices, upskill artisans, and coach operators in First Line and Autonomous Maintenance.
Optimum Engineering has chosen to specialise in training operators, apprentices and artisans in the FMCG manufacturing environment. Our customer base already includes Nestlé, Pioneer Foods, ABInBev, RFG, Libstar, Clover and Heineken.
Our managers and training specialists have many years of experience in the food and beverage manufacturing and packaging environment.
As a subsidiary, Optimum Engineering has its own B-BBEE level 2 status.
VALUE PROPOSITION
- We have an online portal to support coaches and monitor workplace tasks on a live dashboard.
- We have the capability to source, assess and recruit apprentices for factories throughout South Africa.
- Our project managers monitor learner performance and they report back to management throughout the learning experience.

We consider Optimum Engineering to be set apart from other providers in that:

We specialise in the FMCG manufacturing environment, and the maintenance of machinery utilised in that environment.

We place emphasis on the traditional role of artisan coaching for apprentices.

We maintain contact and drive progress throughout an apprenticeship, not only when the apprentice is in the training centre.
