Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Polokwane really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: driver's licence copy (front and back) plus certificate of fitness, if current.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
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 Polokwane.

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

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