About the role

Are you passionate about technical training and safety in mining? We are looking for a Technical Trainer to join our fast-growing team. In this role, you will deliver technical training on the installation, operation and maintenance of A&R's full range of safety systems, including Collision Avoidance (CAS), Pedestrian Detection (PDS), Missing Person Locators (MPL), Railbound Safety and Lamproom Management Systems.

You will facilitate both theory and hands‑on sessions, ensuring our clients and internal teams are fully equipped to apply these systems effectively in both underground and surface mining environments.

As a trainer, you will gain deep, cross‑functional knowledge across all A&R systems, far beyond the scope of a technician focused on a single component. This is a role that sharpens your technical expertise while building your professional credibility as a qualified trainer.

You will be training across multiple sites, including at our brand‑new, fully equipped Training Centre, designed to simulate real‑world mining environments and showcase every A&R system in operation.

We will also invest in your growth: successful candidates will be supported in obtaining official Assessor, Moderator and Facilitator qualifications, making you a fully certified technical trainer.

• Trade Certificate (Electrical or related) and a minimum of 2 years' relevant technical experience
• Grade 12 / Matric with Mathematics and Science
• Strong understanding of safety technologies used in mining (e.g. CAS, PDS, MPL, Railbound, Lamproom)
• Experience in technical support or system installation within mining environments
• Confident presenter with strong communication and facilitation skills
• Able to work independently, travel to various sites and train under field conditions

Key responsibilities

• Plan and schedule technical training sessions across multiple systems and sites
• Deliver engaging training on installation, fault-finding and maintenance procedures
• Conduct assessments and support the certification of trainees
• Ensure training content promotes safe work practices and system compliance
• Maintain accurate training records and submit progress reports
• Collaborate with engineers and technical experts to refine training content

What we offer

The opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in a professional environment with exposure to a variety of technologies and systems, within a supportive team environment with opportunities for growth and learning.
