| Programme | Maintenance and Production Learnership |

| Reference | 13280 |

| Fields | Mechanical Fitter, Electrician, Chemical Plant Operator |

These details come from the current Sasol careers listing rather than from a third-party job advertisement.
What changed from previous Sasol learnership adverts?
Applicants should be careful when comparing this opportunity with older Sasol learnership adverts because the requirements and available disciplines have changed between intakes.
For example, a previous official Sasolburg advert from 2024 listed Mechanical Fitter, Instrumentation and Electrician under Maintenance, together with Chemical Plant Operator under Process. It required a completed National Senior Certificate or equivalent.
The 2026 vacancy currently lists Mechanical Fitter, Electrician and Chemical Plant Operator, and it additionally provides an N3 qualification route. The current advert also explicitly states a 36-month duration.
Therefore, applicants should use the 2026 vacancy as the final authority rather than relying on requirements copied from older adverts.
Who can apply?
Sasol currently provides two educational routes.
Grade 12 route
Applicants need a completed Grade 12 National Senior Certificate with six subjects, including passes in:
- Technical Mathematics or Mathematics
- English
- Technical or Physical Science
N3 route
Alternatively, applicants can have a completed N3 National Senior Certificate with six subjects, including:
- Mathematics
- English
- Engineering Science
These are the academic requirements stated in the current vacancy.
What does the learnership involve?
Sasol describes its learnerships as programmes combining on-the-job learning with structured or institutional learning.
For this intake, learners will be expected to participate in the programme, complete the assessment process and take part in required workplace-readiness activities and exercises.
Is the Sasol learnership stipend confirmed?
No stipend amount is stated in the current official vacancy.
Applicants should therefore avoid relying on figures published on social media or other websites unless Sasol confirms the amount directly. The same applies to claims about guaranteed employment, allowances or other benefits that are not contained in the current advert.
What documents should applicants submit?
The current vacancy does not provide a specific document checklist in the visible job description.
Applicants should therefore follow the documents and instructions shown inside Sasol’s application system rather than assuming that a particular certificate, affidavit or other document is required.
It is sensible to have relevant qualification information available, but applicants should verify the actual application requirements before submitting.
Is the closing date confirmed?
Yes. Sasol’s current careers page lists 16 October 2026 as the closing date.
Because the application window is short, applicants should avoid waiting until the final day. The vacancy can also be removed or become unavailable after the closing date.

Applications should be made through Sasol’s official careers website.
