Job Opportunity: EV Manufacturing Artisan Apprenticeship 2025
EISOWAVE (Pty) Ltd is looking for people who love making things to join a special apprenticeship that will train them in building electric buses. This is a real‑world job that lasts 2 to 4 years and takes place at the Nkowakowa Electric Bus Manufacturing Hub inside the Nkowakowa Industrial Park. If you have a Level 4 or N6 TVET College qualification in a craft that involves cars, metal, electrical work, or similar, and you are unemployed or underemployed, you can apply to become an EV (electric vehicle) artisan.
Why This Apprenticeship Matters
South Africa is moving toward a green future. More cars will run on electricity instead of diesel, and new factories are building electric buses. This apprenticeship gives you a chance to learn hands‑on skills that are in high demand. When you finish, you will have a solid place in a growing industry that helps the environment and creates steady jobs.
Where It Happens
- Location: Nkowakowa Industrial Park, Nkowakowa, Limpopo and Mpumalanga
- Type of Training: On‑the‑job learning at the factory
- Duration: 2–4 years
You will work right beside the engineers and technicians who build electric buses. You’ll get to see how parts fit together, how electronics power the vehicle, and how the whole bus stays safe and efficient.
Who Can Apply
- Level 4 or N6 Qualified Artisans
- If you are currently looking for a job, or still in school without work experience, you qualify.
- Unemployed or Underemployed Artisans
- Those with up to 3 years of experience in automotive or related fields are welcomed.
Minimum Qualifications
You need a Level 4 or N6 TVET College certificate in one of these fields or a closely related area:
- Car body building and spray painting
- Steel welding and fabrication
- Automotive fitting and turning
- Automotive electrician
- Electronics engineering
- Car upholstery
- Mechanical engineering
- Mechatronics
- Chemical engineering
- Electrical engineering
- Plant engineering
- Warehouse logistics
If you have a trade test certificate, a driver’s license, or experience in mining, aerospace, plastics, or circular economy projects, that is a bonus but not a must.
What You’ll Get
- A stipend that matches the pay range in automotive manufacturing
- On‑site and off‑site travel when needed
- A clear path into a career that uses new technology to protect the planet
