Eskom Learner Artisan Opportunities: Twelve (12) Positions Available at Matimba Power Station

Eskom, South Africa’s national electricity utility, has opened 12 Learner Artisan positions at its Matimba Power Station in Lephalale, and for young people wanting a genuine, structured route into a skilled trade within the energy sector, this is one of the more substantial intakes on offer right now.

• Closing Date: 21 September 2026
• Location: Matimba Power Station, Lephalale, Limpopo
• Salary/Stipend: Market Related remuneration (specific stipend figure not disclosed on the listing)

Job Overview

Listing reference eskom_006971, this Learner Artisan opportunity offers 12 positions at Matimba Power Station, one of Eskom‘s major coal-fired generation facilities based in Lephalale. The programme falls under Eskom’s Electricity, Energy & Water Supply operations and is structured as an internship-type contract, giving successful candidates institutionalised classroom training combined with genuine, hands-on workplace experience within a live power station environment.

With 12 posts available in a single intake, this is a genuinely sizeable opportunity compared to many smaller, single-post learnerships elsewhere, giving applicants from the Lephalale area and beyond a reasonable shot at selection.

Job Description

Learner Artisans accepted onto this programme will be exposed to the practical and theoretical foundations of a specific trade, working under supervision within Matimba’s maintenance and operational environment. Eskom’s learner artisan model is built around developing genuine trade competence over time, meaning participants aren’t simply observing, but actively building the skills needed to eventually qualify as fully fledged artisans within the power generation sector.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Participate fully in institutionalised classroom-based training relevant to the chosen trade
• Gain hands-on, on-the-job training within Matimba Power Station’s operational environment
• Support maintenance-related tasks under the guidance of qualified artisans and supervisors
• Follow all plant safety regulations and standard operating procedures at all times
• Build practical technical skills progressively throughout the training period
• Attend and engage with all scheduled assessments and evaluations tied to the programme
• Correctly identify and apply the specific training programme selected when applying, since this determines the trade pathway followed

Requirements and Qualifications

To be eligible for this Learner Artisan intake, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• South African citizenship
• A Grade 12 (Matric) certificate, or a relevant technical qualification
• Mathematics and Science each passed with a minimum of 50%
• Willingness to correctly quote the listing reference number and specify the exact training programme being applied for

Applicants should take particular care to select and clearly state the correct trade or training programme on their application, since Eskom’s recruitment process is built around matching candidates to a specific specialisation from the outset.

Skills and Competencies

While Eskom’s listing doesn’t set out an exhaustive competency framework for this specific intake, candidates who tend to succeed in learner artisan programmes of this nature generally show:

• A genuine aptitude for, and interest in, mathematics and science-based technical work
• Strong attention to detail, particularly important in a safety-regulated power station environment
• Reliability and discipline, given the structured nature of institutionalised training
• A safety-conscious mindset and willingness to follow plant procedures strictly
• Good teamwork and communication skills, useful when working alongside qualified artisans and supervisors
• A genuine, long-term interest in building a career as a qualified artisan within the energy sector

Why This Opportunity Is Worth Considering

For young South Africans in Limpopo who’ve completed Matric with Mathematics and Science but haven’t yet found a way into formal employment or trade training, this programme offers a genuinely valuable solution. Being trained at Matimba, one of Eskom’s significant coal-fired power stations, gives learner artisans exposure to a large-scale, technically demanding industrial environment, building skills that carry real weight across South Africa’s broader energy and industrial maintenance sector. With 12 posts available, this intake also offers a meaningfully wider net of opportunity than many single or double-post learnerships elsewhere in the country.
