Electricity and Energy Opens Four No-Experience Jobs Paying R201,093–R237,453 a Year
Four Electricity and Energy jobs at Pretoria Head Office offer annual pay of R201,093 or R237,453, with no previous experience required. Compare the two job categories carefully before preparing your application.
Electricity and Energy jobs: salaries and requirements
Two Registry Clerk posts, reference DEE2026/025, pay R237,453 a year at level 5. Applicants need Matric at NQF level 4, a Records and Archive Management certificate and a valid driving licence. Work covers registry services, mail, filing and archives.
Two Driver/Messenger posts, reference DEE2026/026, pay R201,093 a year at level 4. The requirements are Grade 10 and a valid driving licence. Duties include driving, messenger services and office support. The notice does not specify a licence category.
Applications close on 20 November 2026: walk-in submissions at 16:00 and online submissions at 23:59. These amounts are annual salaries, not monthly payments.
Application documents and routes
Initially submit the current 2021 Z83, signed and initialled as required, and your CV only. For email applications, combine them into one scanned PDF, not pictures. Put the correct job title and reference in the subject line. Send registry-clerk applications to Vacancies2@dee.gov.za and driver/messenger applications to Vacancies3@dee.gov.za. Separate applications are required.
Certified supporting documents are requested only from shortlisted applicants. Postal applications go to Director-General, Department of Electricity and Energy, Private Bag X96, Pretoria 0001. Hand deliveries go to Matimba House, 192 Visagie Street, corner Paul Kruger Street, Pretoria. Follow the route-specific closing time.
choose the right role
Check your eligibility against each post independently. Having Matric does not remove the clerk post’s additional certificate requirement. Similarly, the driver route should not be presented as requiring the same records-management qualification. Make a private checklist and mark only the qualifications you genuinely hold.
For registry work, choose truthful examples of keeping records accurate and easy to retrieve. Study projects, volunteer responsibilities or community activities can show how you organise information, but describe them accurately rather than calling them formal employment. Explain the task, your contribution and how you checked for mistakes.
For the driving role, review the validity of your licence and describe any relevant responsibilities honestly. Do not guess which licence category the employer will accept where the advert does not say. If your circumstances raise a specific eligibility question, seek clarification through the department’s official recruitment contacts.
prepare and check the PDF
Complete the form carefully and compare its dates, qualifications and contact details with your CV. Inconsistent information can make a straightforward application harder to assess. Answer relevant questions honestly and follow the official form’s instructions for sections that do not apply to you.
Open the combined PDF on a different screen if possible. Check that every page is present, readable and upright, and that text has not been cut off during scanning. A file extension alone does not prove that a document is usable. Avoid sending individual phone photographs in place of the required PDF.
Before pressing send, compare the recipient address and reference against the role you selected. If applying for both categories, prepare two separate applications rather than asking one recruiting inbox to redirect your documents. Use filenames that help you distinguish the versions without including unnecessary sensitive information.
Leave time for delivery problems. An email sitting in your outbox has not necessarily reached the department, and ordinary postal transit takes time. Keep your sent message or delivery record. If you receive an error, investigate through official channels rather than assuming the deadline will be extended.
practise accuracy
Create a small fictional document register with a date, description, reference and status for each entry. Check that a second person could understand it without your explanation. For driving-related preparation, practise planning a realistic route and identifying where you would confirm unclear delivery instructions. These exercises build useful habits without claiming to reproduce an employer assessment.
Frequently asked questions
How can I demonstrate careful filing?
Describe a real system you used: how records were named, checked and retrieved. Explain how you prevented missing or duplicate entries rather than merely saying you are organised.
What if my CV has an error?
Correct it before submission and check related dates elsewhere in the application. If you discover a material error afterwards, ask the recruitment contact how corrections should be handled rather than sending unexplained competing versions.
