Job Description

You'll operate heavy mining machines on shift at the open-cast coal mine near Rustenburg. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

What your day looks like

  • Push and level material on dumps and stockpiles with the dozer
  • Complete the pre-use inspection checklist for your trackless mobile machine
  • Load, haul and tip with the LHD from draw points to the ore pass
  • Report defects and lock out the machine for the maintenance crew
  • Drill blast holes to the plan depth and angle marked by the survey team
  • Haul ore and waste on the haul road loop to the crusher or dump
  • Refuel and wash the machine at the end of your shift where required

What you need

  • Able to work 12-hour shifts on a rotating day and night roster
  • Clear understanding of the TMM regulations under Chapter 8 of the MHSA regulations
  • Grade 10 at minimum, with Grade 12 strongly preferred
  • Valid operator certificate for the specific machine, from an MQA-accredited provider

What you get

  • Medical aid subsidy
  • Shift allowance for night and weekend shifts
  • Company bus from nearby towns to the mine gate
  • Annual performance bonus
