TRAINING OFFICERS REQUIRED – Beifang Mining Technology Services (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd

Most employers require a diploma or degree in Human Resources, Education, or a mining-related technical field. A Training and Development qualification from NTA-accredited institutions like NIMT or recognized assessor and moderator certifications are highly valued. Experience in the mining sector and knowledge of Namibian labour laws strengthen your application.

You will identify skills gaps, develop training materials aligned with MQA standards, and coordinate practical and theoretical sessions for workers. Regular duties include maintaining training records, ensuring compliance with Mine Health and Safety Act requirements, and evaluating program effectiveness. You also liaise with department heads to align training with operational needs.

Namibian mining workplaces are hierarchical and safety-conscious, requiring Training Officers to respect chain of command while advocating for employee development. Cultural sensitivity is essential given the diverse workforce, including many employees from communal land backgrounds. Punctuality, professionalism, and strong communication in English and local languages are expected.

With experience, you can advance to Senior Training Officer, Training Manager, or Human Resources Manager positions. Specializing in occupational health and safety training or obtaining advanced qualifications like a Master's in HRD opens doors to consultancy roles. Some professionals transition into operational management or corporate training positions within larger mining groups.

Benefits usually include medical aid contributions, pension or provident fund arrangements, and annual leave in line with Namibian Labour Act requirements. Many mining employers provide housing allowances or accommodation, transport assistance, and performance bonuses. Remote site work often attracts additional allowances and rotational leave schedules.

Submit a comprehensive CV highlighting mining-specific training experience and certified copies of qualifications through advertised channels or company career portals. Employers prioritize demonstrated experience with Namibian mining regulations, computer literacy in training management systems, and strong references from previous mining sector roles. Tailor your application to show measurable training outcomes and safety compliance achievements.
