How to apply

Email a signed, initialled and dated Z83 with a detailed CV to RecruitCPT26-70@dpw.gov.za. Quote reference 2026/354 and the exact post title.

Certified supporting documents are requested from shortlisted applicants. Enquiries: Mr M Sozombile, 021 402 2250.

Use the exact advertised title, Administration Officer: Demand Management (SCM), together with reference 2026/354. Do not confuse this role with the separately advertised Assistant Director post, which has a different email address and requirements. The Z83 must be signed, initialled and dated and accompanied by a detailed CV. For applications to more than one vacancy, submit separate forms and CVs. Supporting certificates are requested from shortlisted applicants, with certification no older than six months. Your CV should explain actual procurement, acquisition and demand-management work rather than simply listing legislation. Keep the application focused on relevant experience, and show how you maintained records, supported compliant procurement or helped prepare plans and specifications.

Prepare a clear application

For the Public Works Demand Management Officer application, start by comparing your qualifications and experience with each requirement in the official advert. Your CV should make the relevant evidence easy to find. Use accurate dates, clear job titles and specific examples of work you actually completed. Never claim a qualification, licence, professional membership or responsibility you do not hold.

Where you describe experience, explain the task, the tools or processes you used and the result. A short, concrete example is more helpful than a long list of personal qualities. Check that your telephone number and email address are current and that any referees you list can be contacted.

Before sending, open the final attachment and check that every page is readable, correctly oriented and complete. Make sure the vacancy reference in your application matches the Public Works Demand Management Officer advert. Keep a copy of the documents and evidence of submission. Submit early enough to address a rejected email or unreadable file; preparing an application is not the same as successfully submitting it.
