Marula Platinum Engineering Learnership Programmes 2026: Apply Before May 9

Marula Platinum Engineering Learnership Programmes 2026 offer a great chance for South African youth to start careers in mining and engineering. This program from Marula Mine, part of the Implats Group, mixes classroom learning with real work experience. It targets unemployed young people ready to train as skilled artisans in high-demand trades.

Overview of the Programme

The Marula Platinum Engineering Learnership Programmes 2026 run at Marula Mine in Limpopo, South Africa. Applications opened on 30 April 2026 and close on 09 May 2026. The program lasts for structured training that includes both theory and practical work on the job. It falls under job grading EL and focuses on artisan skills for the mining sector.

Trades Available

Trainees can choose from several key trades to build expertise. These include Diesel Mechanic, Boilermaker Plater, Electrical, Fitting (including Machining), Auto Electrical, and Instrumentation. Each trade addresses South Africa’s shortage of skilled workers. This makes the qualifications valuable for steady jobs in mining and engineering.

Programme Purpose

The learnership trains people to earn full artisan qualifications. It gives hands-on experience in engineering tasks. Participants prepare for trade tests and gain skills needed in mining operations. The goal is to create ready-to-work artisans who support the industry’s needs.

Minimum Requirements

To qualify, applicants need specific education and must meet other standards.

Academic Requirements

Candidates require Grade 12 or Matric at NQF Level 4. They also need an N2 qualification with at least four relevant subjects. An NCV Level 4 in an engineering field works as an alternative.

Additional Requirements

Applicants must pass knowledge and psychometric tests. They need to attend interviews and get a medical fitness certificate, known as a Red Ticket. A Heat Tolerance Screening is also required for mine work.

Key Responsibilities

Learners help qualified artisans with maintenance during the program. They repair and replace parts on equipment. Tasks include following safety rules, completing training modules, and doing basic fault checks. They maintain gear to high standards and aid daily operations.

Who Should Apply

This fits people who finished Matric with technical subjects. Those with N2 or NCV Level 4 in engineering are strong candidates. If you want to become a qualified artisan and like mining work, apply. Physical fitness for technical jobs is a must.

Required Documents

Prepare these for your application: an updated CV, certified ID copy, certified Matric certificate, certified N2 or NCV Level 4 results, and other academic records. Make sure copies are certified to avoid issues.
