DMPR Learner Inspector Programme Offers Paid Training With No Experience Required
The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources is inviting qualifying South African graduates to its Mine Health and Safety Learner Inspector Programme for the 2026/2027–2028/2029 financial years. Applications close on 20 November 2026.
Two technical routes
Both advertised places are at Pretoria Head Office. The live DMPR recruitment portal lists R8,174.75–R9,000 per month for both routes. The DPSA circular lists R8,174.75; applicants should confirm the applicable amount with the department.
- DMPR/LIP/2026/001: National diploma or degree in Electrical Engineering (Heavy Current) or Mechanical Engineering, with subjects qualifying the applicant for Government Certificate of Competency candidacy.
- DMPR/LIP/2026/002: National diploma or degree in Mining Engineering, with subjects qualifying the applicant for Mine Managers Certificate of Competency candidacy.
No prior experience requirement is listed for these training places. Technical qualifications still apply, and underground work requires a valid Certificate of Fitness.
Application instructions
Use the engineering route or mining route on DMPR’s official portal. Prepare the current, fully completed and signed Z83 plus a detailed CV, including three contactable references. Separate posts require separate applications.
The official circular, pages 90–91, also supplies application instructions. The live portal directs candidates to create a profile and apply online. Follow the current portal instructions and check with the department before relying on an alternative submission route.
Reign Gigs is not the recruiting department.
