Tronox Technician In Training 2027

Tronox is inviting applications from suitably qualified University of Technology students who need practical workplace experience to complete a relevant engineering Diploma. The Technician in Training Programme 2027 is designed for students who have completed their theoretical studies and still require Work-Integrated Learning (WIL), P1/P2 training, experiential learning or another institutionally required practical placement.

The programme offers exposure to a mining and mineral processing environment, where participants can apply their academic knowledge under the guidance of experienced professionals. Training may involve electrical engineering, instrumentation, process control, maintenance, safety and operational practices, depending on the student’s field of study and available placement.

Students studying Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, Process Control Engineering or Mechatronics are encouraged to review the requirements carefully before applying.

About the Tronox Technician in Training 2027 Programme

The programme is intended for students who need workplace-based practical experience to complete their qualifications. It provides an opportunity to connect academic learning with real-world engineering and operational practices.

Participants will work under the guidance of experienced professionals and will be assigned a workplace mentor or supervisor for the duration of the programme.

The training environment may expose students to electrical systems, instrumentation, process control, maintenance procedures, operational activities and workplace safety practices relevant to mining and mineral processing.

The placement is subject to operational availability, successful screening and the completion of applicable medical requirements.

Fields of Study Considered

Tronox is considering applicants from the following engineering disciplines:

1. Electrical Engineering – Heavy Current / Power Engineering

This field focuses on electrical power systems and related equipment. Students may be suited to placements involving electrical infrastructure, maintenance and operational support, depending on the available training opportunities.

2. Electrical Engineering – Light Current / Electronics

This field covers electronic systems and related technologies. It may be relevant to industrial electrical applications, electronic equipment and associated technical operations.

3. Instrumentation and Process Control Engineering

Students in these disciplines study measurement systems, instrumentation and the control of industrial processes. These skills are relevant to monitoring and controlling equipment and processes in mineral processing environments.

4. Mechatronics

Mechatronics combines elements of mechanical engineering, electronics, control systems and automation. Students in this field may be suited to workplace exposure involving integrated industrial systems, subject to operational requirements.

Applicants should ensure that their qualification aligns with one of the listed disciplines or a closely related field accepted by Tronox.

Minimum Requirements

To be considered for the programme, applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Be a South African citizen.
• Be enrolled at, or have studied through, a recognised University of Technology.
• Be studying towards a National Diploma or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, Process Control Engineering, Mechatronics or a closely related field.
• Have completed the required theoretical subjects applicable to the practical placement.
• Provide a current, full academic record or transcript.
• Submit an official institutional letter confirming the outstanding WIL, P1/P2, experiential or practical training requirement and the required duration.
• Be currently unemployed.
• Be available for the full practical training period required by the institution.
• Be medically fit to work in a mining and mineral processing environment.
• Successfully complete the required background verification and screening processes.
• Not have previously completed the same workplace-based training requirement.

The institutional letter is particularly important because it confirms that the applicant still needs practical training to complete their qualification and identifies the required duration.

Selection Preferences

Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee placement. Tronox has identified additional factors that may strengthen an application.

These include:

• Good to exceptional academic performance in electrical, instrumentation and process control subjects.
• Preference for qualifying students from local communities.
• Alignment between the candidate’s studies and Tronox’s operational requirements.
