Municipal Data Capturer Role Offers a 36-Month Contract and R14,065.39 Monthly Salary

The municipal data capturer role at Beaufort West Municipality is open for applications. This is a 36-month fixed-term position in its infrastructure-services function, not a permanent appointment. Read the municipal notice carefully and prepare the required application form before the deadline.

Salary and closing date

The notice lists R14,065.39 per month and an annual salary scale of R168,784.63–R219,103.61. Applications close on 6 November 2026 at 12:00, South African time. This is also 12:00 in Africa/Harare.

Eligibility and work

Grade 12, MS Office literacy and two to five years of relevant experience. The advert also requires ability in at least two official Western Cape languages. End User Computing certification and a Code B licence are advantages, not the basic academic requirement.

The position supports capital-project administration through accurate data capture, maintained records, reports and EPWP information checks.

How to apply

Use the official BWM 5 vacancy form. Send it with a comprehensive CV, contactable referees and certified supporting documents required by the advert to erecruit@beaufortwestmun.co.za. Clearly identify Notice 157/2026 and the role. An incomplete application or missing prescribed form may prevent consideration.

Prepare a focused application

Start by comparing your documents with the notice rather than assuming that a general CV is sufficient. Put the correct reference on your application and check that each attachment is readable. Where a qualification or licence is relevant, make sure the name and dates agree with your CV.

Describe work you personally performed. For each relevant job, include dates and a short explanation of your responsibilities. Examples are more useful than repeating broad phrases such as “hard-working” without evidence. If you supported a project rather than managed it, make that distinction clear.

Contact your proposed referees before listing them. Confirm their current telephone numbers and explain the work they can verify. Do not add someone simply because their title sounds impressive; use a person who can accurately discuss your contribution.

For an email application, use filenames that identify the document and your name. Open the attached files from the draft message to check they are the intended versions. Keep a copy of the complete application and any acknowledgement. Sending an email is not proof that it was received or that you have been shortlisted.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply with only a CV?

The notice requires the prescribed BWM 5 form, so a CV alone is not a substitute. Use the complete advert to check all supporting-document requirements.

Is the advertised salary a guaranteed take-home amount?

No. An advertised salary is not a personal net-pay calculation. Deductions and appointment terms should be confirmed with the employer rather than estimated from this article.

Does submitting early guarantee selection?

No. Meeting a deadline only allows your application to be considered. Continue seeking other appropriate roles while waiting for an outcome.
