Sasol’s 2026 Millwright Apprenticeship – What You Need to Know
Sasol is looking for South African young people who want a hands‑on job in engineering and maintenance. The company will open a 2026 Learner Artisan: Millwright programme in Sasolburg and Secunda. If you like working with heavy machines, keeping things running, and learning new skills, this could be the first step to a solid career.
Who Can Apply?
You must have finished matric (or a Grade 12 level qualification). You should have passed Maths, Physical Science, and English. Having one year of experience in a related field is helpful, but you can still apply if you don’t have it.
The apprenticeship will train you to become a qualified Millwright, which means you’ll fix and maintain machines in factories and mines. The training follows the standards set by the QCTO and the National Artisan Moderation Board, so you will get a recognised qualification when you finish.

During the programme you will learn to:
- Keep plants, mines, and equipment working smoothly

- Talk about safety in daily toolbox chats
- Give clear updates to your supervisor about your progress

- Help improve maintenance plans and performance
You will also practice teamwork, take on small leadership roles, and keep learning new techniques.
