Artisan Auto Electrician

South Africa | Permanent | Mining Sector

In the shadows of the underground, machines breathe life into progress. But even the toughest Trackless Mobile Machinery falters without the steady hands of those who know its heart. We are searching for an Artisan Auto Electrician, a professional who can listen to the hum of an engine, read the pulse of a CANBUS system, and bring machines back from silence to strength.

This is not a role for improvisation. It is for the proven craftsman whose skill keeps production alive.

What You’ll Command

Who Should Apply

This role is only open to South African Citizens or Permanent Residents. It demands grit, precision, and the instinct to troubleshoot where others see only failure. If you have spent years keeping machines alive beneath the earth, this is your next proving ground.

Why It Matters

Every tonne hauled, every drill turned, depends on machines that run without fail. Behind that reliability stands the Artisan Auto Electrician, the unseen craftsman who ensures the mine never sleeps.

If you meet every requirement above, and only then, apply with confidence.
