Sea Harvest 2026 Industrial Engineering Graduate – Launch Your Career Today
Sea Harvest is looking for suitable young people to apply for their Graduate Programme in Industrial Engineering opportunities. The closing date for applications is 31 January 2026 – don’t miss out if you’re ready to jump into a real‑world job that pays and teaches you at the same time.
What’s the gig all about?
Sea Harvest started back in 1964 as a small fishing outfit and has turned into a global name in seafood, aquaculture, agri‑processing and fast‑moving consumer goods. If you love numbers, want to make things run smoother, and think outside the box, this role will let you:
- Analyse and tweak every step – from the way we process fish to how we ship it to the world.
- Help roll out Lean and Six‑Sigma projects that cut waste and boost quality.
- Turn raw data into action – you’ll use Excel, data‑analysis tools and even simulation software to spot problems before they happen.
- Work side‑by‑side with seasoned engineers and business leaders on projects that touch every part of the company.
You’ll be based in Cape Town at the South Arm Road office, so if you’re from the Western Cape or willing to relocate, the city’s great for tech and a vibrant food scene.
Who should apply?
- Recent graduates (or soon‑to‑be graduates) with a degree in Industrial Engineering.
- People who love problem‑solving and process improvement.
- Those who can think systems‑wise and use data to make decisions.
- If you already know Excel, simulation tools or data‑analysis software, that’s a plus – but not a must.
What do you need to send in?
- Detailed CV – highlight projects, internships or any relevant experience.
- University transcripts – proof of grades.
- Qualification certificates – degree, diplomas.
- National Senior Certificate & ID – for identity verification.
- A cover letter (optional but a nice touch) – tell us why you’re excited about seafood and efficiency.
How to apply – step by step
- Grab the link – Apply right here before it closes.
- Read the job description carefully – it’ll give you the exact deadline and any extra details.
- Prepare your documents – save them as PDF or JPG.
- Fill out the online form – upload your CV, transcripts, certificates and ID.
- Hit submit – you’ll get a confirmation email.
What you get in return
- A structured graduate development programme with a mentor (VFD Managing Director or Operations Manager).
- Hands‑on exposure to multiple areas of a big company – you’ll see the whole chain from sea to supermarket shelf.
- Competitive stipend (exact amount on the job page).
- Opportunities to grow into a senior role once you prove yourself.
Quick tips to stand out
- Use the STAR method in your cover letter: Situation, Task, Action, Result.
- Show a project or idea where you used data to improve something – even a school assignment counts.
- Mention any Lean, Six‑Sigma or other process improvement training you’ve taken.
- Keep your CV tidy – one page is fine for most grads, but keep the tech terms readable.
