Writing a CV for mining jobs in Zimbabwe

The Mining job market in Zimbabwe

Mining is a cornerstone of Zimbabwe's economy — gold, platinum group metals, chrome, diamonds and, increasingly, lithium — and a major source of formal jobs and foreign currency. Mines and contractors hire operators, artisans, engineers and Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) professionals, and a clean safety record with the right tickets often matters more than a long career history. Compliance with occupational safety requirements (registered with NSSA) is taken seriously on every application.

What Mining employers look for

• A clean safety record and SHE (Safety, Health & Environment) awareness.
• Trade tickets and certificates (fitting, plant operation, first aid).
• Compliance with the Mines & Minerals / MHSA safety requirements.
• Reliability for shift work and physically demanding roles.
