Sasol Secunda Opportunities Across Engineering, Mining and Process Operations

Sasol has 15 current opportunities in Secunda across chemical processing, engineering, mining, mechanical maintenance, occupational safety, emergency response and business support.

Openings include Chemical Plant Operators, process technicians, mechanical artisans, mining supervisors, an Instruments and Control Engineer, a Safety Officer, a Fire Fighter and administrative support positions.

Two Chemical Plant Operator opportunities account for 16 appointments on their own, making process operations one of the biggest areas currently open in Secunda.

Process and chemical operations

Sasol is looking for Chemical Plant Operators, a Technician II Process and a Chief Technician Process.

The Chemical Plant Operator work is suited to people with training in chemical operations and industrial production. Operators help run plant processes safely, monitor equipment and respond when something is not working as it should.

This type of experience can build a career in:

Chemical processing
Plant operations
Industrial production
Process technology
Energy and manufacturing

The Technician II Process and Chief Technician Process positions are more technical. They focus on keeping process systems reliable, finding faults and helping production equipment work properly.

For someone studying or qualified in chemical operations, process technology or engineering, these are some of the strongest opportunities in the current Secunda intake.

Engineering and maintenance

Engineering is another major area of activity.

The Instruments & Control Engineer I position focuses on the systems that help control industrial equipment and production processes.

This includes work with instrumentation, automation and control systems used to keep machinery running safely and efficiently.

The Artisan Grade 2 Mechanical Fitter position is focused on mechanical maintenance.

Mechanical fitters repair and maintain equipment such as pumps, motors and other plant machinery. Their work is important because production can slow down or stop when equipment fails.

The Maintenance & Engineering Planner Assistant position supports the teams that plan this maintenance work.

The job includes helping organise maintenance activities so that equipment can be repaired at the right time with the right people and resources.

Together, these positions give young technical applicants several ways into industrial engineering and plant maintenance.

Mining opportunities

Sasol is also hiring for mining operations in Secunda.

The Shiftboss Mining Operations position is aimed at experienced mining professionals who can manage production and people during a shift.

The work includes making sure mining activities stay on track while also meeting safety and legal requirements.

There are also two Chief Foreman positions.

These are senior technical appointments linked to maintenance and operational performance. They are better suited to people with strong experience in mining, engineering or heavy industrial work.

For younger applicants, these senior positions are useful because they show the kind of career progression available after gaining technical and supervisory experience.

Safety and emergency response

Two opportunities focus directly on workplace safety.

The SHE Occupational Safety Officer position supports health and safety standards across operations.

The work includes checking for hazards, helping prevent accidents and making sure safety rules are followed.

This can lead to careers in:

Occupational health and safety
Industrial safety
Risk management
Compliance
Safety auditing

The Fire Fighter: Maintenance position combines emergency response with the maintenance of firefighting and life-support equipment.

This is a strong option for people interested in industrial fire protection, emergency services and safety equipment.

Customer care and administration

Not every opportunity is technical.

The Clerk Grade 1 Customer Care position supports customers and helps coordinate maintenance-related administration.

The work includes communication, record keeping, updating information and helping service teams stay organised.

The Integration Administrator position focuses on office support, documents, meetings, databases and day-to-day administration.

These positions can suit applicants who are stronger in communication, organisation and computer-based work.

They can also provide experience that supports future careers in:

Administration
Customer service
Business operations
Office management
Maintenance planning support

Employee relations and labour law

The Senior Manager Employee Relations Mining position is a senior professional opportunity in labour relations.

The work covers employment law, trade unions, disciplinary matters, grievances and workplace relations in a mining setting.

Applicants need an LLB or similar qualification and strong experience in labour or employment law.

This position is more advanced than most of the other opportunities, but it shows how legal and HR skills are also important inside large mining and industrial businesses.

Which opportunity suits you?

The best option depends on your qualification and experience.

If you studied chemical operations, process technology or related fields, the Chemical Plant Operator and process technician positions are the strongest fit.

If your background is mechanical or electrical engineering, the maintenance and control positions are more relevant.

If you studied safety, emergency services or occupational health, the SHE Safety Officer and Fire Fighter opportunities are better options.

Applicants with administration, customer service or office skills should look at the Clerk and Integration Administrator positions.
