Zimplats has become aware of a fraudulent job advertisement currently circulating online, falsely claiming to represent our recruitment efforts. Please be advised: Zimplats does NOT use third-party portals, request payments at any stage of the recruitment process, or ask applicants to contact us through unofficial channels. Below is the Zimplats Recruitment Process. If you see or receive any suspicious job-related messages, report them immediately through our official communication platforms.
How can one apply to Zimplats for internship, and is there a particular period when Zimplats takes students on attachment or graduate training?
Graduate Learner Programme:
- Zimplats runs a structured two-year Graduate Learnership Programme designed for ambitious and high-performing University graduates, ordinarily 25 years of age and below, who are seeking career opportunities in the mining industry – and Zimplats in particular. The available learnership disciplines are stipulated on learnership programme adverts. To apply for the Graduate Learnership Programme, you should regularly check for available opportunities on the Zimplats website “careers” page or local newspapers. Zimplats typically advertises Graduate Learnership Programme positions in January and July every year, subject to availability.
Internship Programme:
- Zimplats offers internship opportunities to students currently enrolled at tertiary institutions and are on a study programme that requires them to undergo industrial training as part of their learning. Zimplats does not advertise for the internship programme intake on its website, local newspapers or through recruitment agents. Zimplats officially requests applications for available positions and disciplines directly from tertiary institutions through the respective faculty personnel. Zimplats typically recruits student interns in January and July every year, subject to availability of internship positions.
I am a job seeker, how can I get a job at Zimplats, how do I go about applying for a job?
Zimplats recruits through two official channels: an internal recruitment process and an external recruitment process.
Internal process
Vacancy adverts are posted on local noticeboards to reach the Zimplats community, including current contract employees and individuals working for Zimplats contracting companies. Internal candidates who meet the specified job requirements are shortlisted to participate in the recruitment process. Employment is offered to those who successfully complete all stages of the selection process.
External adverts
Vacancy adverts are published on the Zimplats Careers page and in national newspapers, targeting individuals who meet the specific job requirements. Zimplats is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, age, disability, religion, belief, culture, language, or place of birth. We are committed to promoting gender equality throughout all our recruitment processes.
How can I tell a genuine Zimplats job advert from a fake one?
To protect job seekers from scams, please note the following:
- All official job adverts will direct you to apply via our official HR email address (humanresources@zimplats.com) or by delivering hard copies to our site offices.
- We do not use third-party platforms, WhatsApp numbers, or recruitment agents
- We do not request payment at any stage of the recruitment process.
- While all official Zimplats communications include our company logo, the presence of a logo alone does not guarantee authenticity. Scammers often copy or manipulate logos to make fake adverts appear legitimate.
- Be cautious of poor grammar, urgent tone, or requests for payments – these are common red flags.
- If you are unsure about any job advert claiming to be from Zimplats, please verify it through our official website www.zimplats.com or communication channels.
