How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: employment references showing artisan work plus trade test certificate and N-certificates.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around eMalahleni.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Mention underground or flameproof experience clearly. It separates mine-ready artisans from factory artisans.
Your trade test certificate must show the trade and the date. Keep a certified copy ready because mines verify it.
