Job Description

When production stops, the artisans get it going again. The diamond mine processing plant near Lephalale needs you on that team. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Location: Lephalale, Limpopo. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

  • Complete job cards and work orders in SAP after each task
  • Test and maintain flameproof electrical equipment in coal sections
  • Guide and teach an artisan assistant on the job
  • Help with rope inspections and shaft maintenance during scheduled stoppages
  • Fault-find hydraulic, electrical and engine faults on trackless machines

What you need

  • Trade test certificate in your trade (diesel mechanic, fitter, electrician, boilermaker, instrumentation or rigger)
  • Certificate of fitness for underground or surface work
  • N3 certificate or Grade 12 with maths and science
  • Able to read schematics, hydraulic circuits or wiring diagrams
  • Willing to do standby and call-outs on a roster

Helpful, not essential

  • Flameproof equipment training for coal mines
  • Experience with collision avoidance systems on TMM
  • Government Certificate of Competency studies in progress

On offer

  • Tool allowance or company-issued toolbox
  • Study assistance for engineering qualifications
  • Housing support in the mining town

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: trade test certificate and N-certificates, employment references showing artisan work plus certified ID copy.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

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