Minimum requirements and experience
The education wording allows a Senior Certificate or equivalent with Mathematics or Accounting as a passed subject, and/or a Senior Certificate or equivalent with experience or competencies focused on the post’s key performance areas.

Duties and responsibilities
The two posts are specifically in acquisition management. They are distinct from asset-management or finance-clerk opportunities at other facilities. The work centres on quotations, procurement processes and purchase orders, with the systems and regulatory knowledge described in the official advert.
- Communicate with suppliers and end users, follow up requests and provide feedback.
- Help improve SCM processes and working methods as part of the innovation team.
- Prepare quotation batches for consideration by the Quotation Committee.
- Process and expedite purchase orders.
- Source quotations through EPS for buyouts, mini-contracts and staggered orders, and procure from contracts to maintain stock availability.
Salary, benefits and appointment
The official recruitment portal lists a permanent appointment with an annual salary scale of R237 453 to R279 708, plus service benefits. It names a 13th cheque, the employer’s pension-fund contribution, housing and medical-aid allowances. The advert does not give individual monetary amounts or entitlement calculations for those benefits.
DPSA Circular 38 quotes R237 453 per annum, which matches the lower end of the fuller scale shown by the department’s portal. No guarantee of appointment at the top of the scale, monthly net pay or a particular allowance amount is implied. The application reference is GSH222/2026.
