Valid operator certificate for the specific machine, from an MQA-accredited provider
Able to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating day and night roster

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Name the exact machine class and size you operated, like "100-ton rigid dump truck". Mines hire by machine.
Put your operator certificate expiry dates on the CV. Expired tickets are the top reason operators get filtered out.
