Introduction
Are you looking for a pathway to a solid career in mining and technical trades? Canyon Coal (Pty) Ltd is pleased to offer a 2025 external learnership opportunity at its Gugulethu Colliery. This is your chance to gain real, hands‑on experience in critical roles like diesel mechanic, auto electrician, and electrician — while working within a respected mining company. If you’ve completed Matric and hold an N2 in your field, this could be your springboard into a meaningful and rewarding technical career in the mining industry.
About the Role
The learnerships are designed to combine practical on‑site training with theoretical instruction. Learners will rotate through tasks relevant to their field, working under supervision and gradually taking on more responsibility. Those in the Diesel Mechanic track will assist with maintenance, repair, diagnostics, and overhaul tasks. Auto Electrician learners will support wiring, diagnostics, and vehicle electrical systems. The Electrician role will involve general electrical work, fault finding, and preventive maintenance across plant systems. The learnership is structured to ensure you finish with strong technical capability, ready for further career progression.
Who Should Apply
This programme is ideal for young people passionate about technical trades and looking to start their careers in mining. If you’ve completed Matric with Mathematics and Science, obtained an N2 in diesel mechanics, auto electrical, or electrical, and are eager to learn, you’re encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to individuals from the Msukaligwa Local Municipality, women, and persons with disabilities — aligning with Canyon Coal’s commitment to inclusion and equitable opportunity.
