Vettam recruits skilled artisans and technical professionals across South Africa. We match candidates to the role, operating environment and site requirements, then present a focused shortlist through structured Vettam Candidate Profiles.
We specialise in artisan and technical recruitment, so our talent network is organised by trade and skill rather than a generic list of jobs.
Qualified artisans and technical professionals for permanent positions.
Flexible technical staffing where clients require temporary or contract support.
Support for larger projects, shutdowns and periods of increased workforce demand.
For clients needing multiple skilled workers across a project, site or operation.
A millwright on a mine and a millwright in an FMCG plant work differently. We place people who already understand the environment they're walking into.
