The range of responsibilities means that trainees can expect exposure to different aspects of pipeline control, maintenance, safety and product management during the programme.

Requirements for the Transnet Trainee Controller Learnership

Applicants need to meet one of the specified educational routes.

In addition to the educational requirement, candidates must pass a competency assessment covering technical ability, numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning and abstract reasoning. A good command of English is also required.

Driver’s Licence Requirement

A valid Code 08–10 driver’s licence is listed as one of the standard job requirements for the Trainee Controller position.

Applicants should make sure that the driver’s licence information provided during the application process is accurate and corresponds with their current licence.

Skills and Competencies

The Trainee Controller role requires candidates who can work carefully in an environment where operational decisions and procedures can have safety implications.

Transnet lists the following competencies for the position:

• Analytical ability
• Perseverance
• Sound interpersonal skills
• Attention to detail
• Conflict-handling ability
• Ability to remain composed during stressful situations
• Ability to work independently
• High frustration tolerance

These qualities are particularly relevant to a role involving technical systems, operational procedures and the movement of petroleum products.

What Will Trainees Learn?

The learnership provides exposure to a number of technical and operational activities. Training includes pipeline operations, risk and pollution control, product metering, maintenance and product quality testing.

Trainees will also learn about the use of operational systems and software, the handling of transmixtures and intermixtures, pipeline shutdown procedures and the launching and receiving of pigs and spheres.

The programme therefore brings together technical knowledge, operational procedures and safety practices within the petroleum pipeline environment.

Who Should Consider Applying?

This opportunity may be suitable for South Africans who have completed Grade 12 with the required Mathematics and Physical Science subjects, as well as candidates with the specified N3 Technical Engineering qualifications. It may also interest young people who want to explore careers connected to engineering, petroleum operations, logistics, industrial systems and technical infrastructure. Applicants should not rely on the job title alone when deciding whether to apply. The technical requirements, driver’s licence requirement and competency assessment are important parts of the advertised position.

Employment Equity

The vacancy states that preference will be given to suitably qualified applicants who are members of designated groups in line with the Employment Equity Plan and targets of the organisation or relevant operating division.

Important Warning for Job Seekers
