Job Description

Have a blasting certificate and a clean safety record? The underground platinum mine near Klerksdorp needs your crew leadership. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is an underground platinum mine on the Klerksdorp side of North West.

What you'll actually do

  • Bar down loose rock and install support to the section's support standard
  • Do the early entry examination and make the workplace safe before the crew enters
  • Mark off drilling holes to the standard pattern and check the drilling
  • Stop work when a condition is unsafe, using your right to withdraw
  • Charge up holes and connect initiation systems for the blast

You'll need

  • Grade 12 or equivalent, plus the MQA-accredited miner training
  • Sound knowledge of your commodity's mining method and support standards
  • Able to lead a crew of 8 to 20 people in a language they understand
  • Valid blasting certificate issued under the Mine Health and Safety Act

Helpful, not essential

  • First aid certificate current

On offer
