What the work involves
These are regulatory inspection posts rather than office-only administrative jobs. The relevant education, legislative knowledge, licence and communication skills support the advertised inspection, investigation and reporting duties. Both Pretoria posts use the same reference.
- Conduct occupational inspections to monitor compliance with labour legislation.
- Investigate reported contraventions and enforce requirements where necessary.
- Carry out proactive blitz inspections.
- Run advocacy activities on allocated labour legislation.
- Help compile inspection plans, reports and case statistics.
Documents to prepare
Use the current Z83 employment application form and an up-to-date, comprehensive CV. Complete sections A, B, C and D in full. For sections E, F and G, the department allows a reference to the attached CV where space is limited, but the question about conditions preventing reappointment in section F must still be answered.
Initial and sign the Z83, including its declaration. Identify the correct job title, department and reference number. Each post needs its own application form. For an online submission, combine the Z83 and CV into one attachment.
Do not attach certified qualifications at the initial stage unless the employer subsequently requests them. Shortlisted candidates must supply the required certified documents on or before the interview date. Where applicable, foreign qualifications require SAQA evaluation at that stage.

Selection and enquiries
Shortlisted applicants undertake a practical exercise and an integrity assessment. The successful candidate must enter into an employment contract and performance agreement.

The department may decide not to appoint.
The advert identifies White males and White females as the employment-equity priority groups for these posts.
