Finding and developing our future leaders is something we're passionate about. Join us as a PIT: Mining Engineer if you are ready to take the first step towards a successful career in the mining industry.

Anglo American
Our ambition is to be the most valued mining company in the eyes of our shareholders, driven by the purpose to re-imagine mining to improve people's lives.

Kumba Iron Ore
We produce high-grade iron ore, the key component in steel widely used in construction and manufacturing across the world. Our activities include all aspects - exploration; mining; processing and blending; shipping; marketing and selling. In South Africa, we have mining operations in the Northern Cape province, as well as a head office in Rosebank, Gauteng, and a port operation in Saldanha Bay, Western Cape.



As a Professional In Training (PIT): Mining Engineer, your training will cover a wide range of essential aspects, including basic development and stoping theory, practical experience, departmental exposure, and blasting certificate courses. In the underground mining realm, you'll delve into practical mining training, obtain your blasting certificate, and develop a deep understanding of the intricacies of mining operations. Surface mining will see you working alongside the blasting team, gaining exposure to various departments, and completing practical training as a foreman and mine overseer. You'll also contribute to mine planning, design, and project work while acting as a subordinate manager. Safety and environmental responsibility are paramount, and you'll actively participate in safety initiatives to ensure compliance with SHE legislation and statutory requirements.

This is an exciting opportunity for graduates who want to have a smarter future within mining. Initially, you will be offered a three-year graduate programme with our Southern Africa Business Unit rotating to one or more of our sites where possible. You have the chance to make a difference in real projects and follow a structured learning development journey.
