Job Description

You'll keep machines, conveyors and shafts running at the gold mine shaft complex near Kimberley. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a gold mine shaft complex in Kimberley. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Repair and align conveyor belt drives, pulleys and idlers
  • Complete job cards and work orders in SAP after each task
  • Isolate and lock out machines under the site isolation procedure
  • Guide and teach an artisan assistant on the job
  • Test and maintain flameproof electrical equipment in coal sections

You'll need

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

On offer

  • Artisan allowance on top of basic pay
  • Tool allowance or company-issued toolbox
  • Study assistance for engineering qualifications

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified ID copy plus employment references showing artisan work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 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 Kimberley.

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

  • 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.
