Job Description

Zero harm needs people who go into the workings. This mining contractor on a platinum lease near Rosslyn needs you. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll be based at a mining contractor on a platinum lease in Rosslyn. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What your day looks like

  • Check that crews do planned task observations and pre-shift checks
  • Track safety statistics like LTIFR and report them each month
  • Take dust, noise and heat measurements with the occupational hygiene team
  • Keep legal appointments and code of practice records current
  • Prepare for inspections by the mine inspector and follow up on instructions

You'll need

  • Code 08 licence for moving around the mine property
  • At least 3 years in a safety role at a mine
  • Confident writing investigation reports and presenting findings
  • Certificate of fitness to go underground or into the pit

Helpful, not essential

  • Occupational hygiene registration with the relevant council
  • Diploma or degree in Safety Management or Environmental Health

What's in it for you

  • Retirement fund and medical aid
  • CPD and further study funded
  • Standby allowance for incident call-outs
  • Company vehicle on site

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: copy of your identity document, professional registration proof, if any plus SAMTRAC or safety qualification.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

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 the commodity and whether you worked underground. Mines prefer someone who knows their hazards.
  • Show your mining sector safety experience clearly. Construction-only safety CVs are often moved to the no pile.
