You'll keep machines, conveyors and shafts running at the gold mine shaft complex near Polokwane. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

• Order spares and track them through the engineering store
• Take part in weekend shutdowns for major overhauls
• Help with rope inspections and shaft maintenance during scheduled stoppages
• Isolate and lock out machines under the site isolation procedure
• Guide and teach an artisan assistant on the job

• At least 2 years as a qualified artisan, preferably on a mine
• N3 certificate or Grade 12 with maths and science

• Mention underground or flameproof experience clearly. It separates mine-ready artisans from factory artisans.
