Who can apply?
Applicants need Grade 10, also described as Standard 8. A National Steam Certificate and prior boiler-operating experience are not listed for these assistant posts. Those requirements appear in separate boiler-operator adverts and should not be imported into this vacancy.
The department nevertheless lists relevant knowledge and practical capabilities. Applicants should understand low-pressure norms and standards, maintenance-work standards, maintenance tools and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Interpersonal skills and the ability to use Public Works maintenance tools are part of the published requirements.
The advertised attributes include professionalism, attention to detail, honesty, integrity, strong ethics, collective responsibility and a people-centred approach. The notice also refers to transformation and the Batho Pele principles.
What the boiler assistants will do
The work combines routine cleaning with support for boiler operations. Safety awareness is therefore relevant even though previous employment experience is not required. The advert does not describe these as office-based administrative positions.
- Help record boiler readings and carry out coal trimming and ash-removal work.
- Clean boilers, the boiler house and surrounding work areas, including the coal bunker, windows and chemical or brine tanks.
- Maintain ash trolleys and clean the brine tank and water filter.
- Add chemicals and salt to the brine tank according to the prescribed instructions.
- Use protective clothing properly, including the requirements applying to visitors, and identify and report safety hazards.
Salary and appointment details
The salary is R144,024 per annum plus benefits. The circular and exact portal listing both identify three vacancies under reference REFS/056904. Neither source gives a separate monetary breakdown of the benefits, so no additional allowance or take-home figure is assumed.
Documents required
Complete the online Z83 application information and attach a comprehensive CV. At this initial stage, the department requests the CV with the online application; other supporting documents are requested from shortlisted candidates.
Shortlisted applicants must provide certified qualifications and an identity document when requested. The notice says the certified copies must not be older than six months. A valid driver’s licence is requested where driving or travelling is an inherent requirement of the particular job; this is not an extra licence requirement for every vacancy.
Applicants with foreign qualifications are responsible for obtaining evaluation by the South African Qualifications Authority. The department applies its Employment Equity Plan, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

What happens after applying
Shortlisted candidates should expect a practical assessment. The circular also specifies an integrity or ethical-conduct assessment as part of its selection instructions. Assessment requirements in the official recruitment process remain applicable.
