Sibanye-Stillwater has opened doors for job seekers in the mining field with its Learner Official Mining Learnerships 2026. These programs offer six positions across three separate listings, giving more chances for qualified candidates to start a career in mining. With closing dates in late April and early May 2026, now is the time to check if you meet the requirements.
What Are the Sibanye-Stillwater Learner Official Mining Learnerships 2026?
These learnerships are part of Sibanye-Stillwater’s plan to train new workers. They are temporary positions focused on building skills through hands-on work, supervision, and assessments. Candidates get real exposure in mining operations, which helps them grow into full roles. This is a formal path into the industry, not just a short job.
How Many Positions Are Open?
The company lists three separate opportunities under the Sibanye-Stillwater Learner Official Mining Learnerships 2026, totaling six spots. Here is the breakdown:
- KND 0070380 / KND AD0015491: 1 position, closes 1 May 2026.
- KLF 0070368 / KLF AD0015496: 3 positions, closes 27 April 2026.
- RPM 0070359 / RPM AD0015470: 2 positions, closes 1 May 2026.
Each listing stands alone, so candidates can apply to the ones that fit best.
Where Are the Learnerships Located?
The positions are in two main areas: the Platinum Rustenburg operations and Gold West Wits operations. Details like requisition numbers and qualifications vary by site. This spread means opportunities in different parts of the business.
Academic Qualifications Required
All listings need a Grade 12, NQF 4, or National Senior Certificate. Most require Mathematics and English. One listing specifies pure Mathematics, not Mathematical Literacy. Check each post carefully, as small differences can affect eligibility.
Additional Requirements
Applicants must be medically fit for mining work and pass security checks. A valid driver’s license helps in some cases. Past experience in related fields is a plus, even if not required. These steps ensure candidates can handle the job safely.
Key Responsibilities for Learners
Successful candidates will learn under supervision in operational areas. Duties include completing training modules on time, following safety rules, and using protective gear. They must spot hazards, report issues, and join safety activities. Regular assessments track progress and skills.
The Selection Process
Sibanye-Stillwater uses pre-screening and psychometric tests first. Shortlisted people face panel interviews. If no reply comes in 14 days, assume the application did not move forward. Prepare well and match your details to the exact listing.
Tips for a Strong Application
Note the requisition number, reference, and closing date for each listing you target. Read qualification details twice to avoid mistakes. Submit supporting documents clearly. Accuracy beats speed in competitive programs like these.
