4. Combine your completed Z83 and CV into one single PDF file before sending. Do not zip the file or send images.
5. Email your application to Jobs-NCCAL@LABOUR.gov.za before 23:59 on 03 July 2026. Write the job title and reference number HR 4/4/8/178 clearly in the subject line.

TIPS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR APPLICATION
• This post gives priority to Coloured Male, Indian Male and Female, and White Male candidates per the department's EE targets. Make sure your equity details are filled in correctly on the Z83.
• Calvinia is a smaller town in the Northern Cape — if you are willing to relocate, mention this clearly in your CV as it shows commitment.
• Your two years of inspection experience must be clearly laid out in your CV with specific dates, duties and the legislation you enforced. Vague descriptions will not impress the selection panel.
• Brush up on all the legislation listed in the requirements — shortlisted candidates will be assessed practically, so theoretical knowledge alone will not be enough.
• A valid driver's licence is a hard requirement. If yours is due to expire, renew it before you apply
