SANRAL N2 Section 34 Skilled Labour Database Registration Closes 22 May 2026
A major road upgrade project in Mpumalanga is building a skills database right now—and if you live in the right area with construction, safety, or environmental experience, this could be your entry point to steady project work.
The Raubex, WBHO, and Cebekhulu joint venture is recruiting skilled workers for the SANRAL N2 Section 34 upgrade. This isn’t a single job posting. Instead, it’s a skilled labour database—a recruitment pool that contractors tap into as the project progresses over the next two years.
If you’re qualified and you register early, you’re far more likely to be called when work begins.

How to Improve Your Chances
Many applicants lose opportunities because they don’t prepare properly. Here’s how to stand out:
- Submit early. Contractors review databases throughout the project. Being listed early improves your visibility.
- Organise everything. Use a folder. Label each document clearly. Number your pages.
- Get the proof of residence right. It must be issued by the local municipality. Don’t use utility bills or letters—they won’t work.
- Be specific about your skill level. On your CV, clearly state which role you’re applying for and your grade or certification level.
- Include contact references. Add at least two people your employer or trainer can verify your experience with.
- Double-check everything. Spelling mistakes and missing documents hurt your chances.
Common Questions Answered
Is this a guaranteed job?
No. Being on the database means you’ll be considered when positions open. Selection depends on project needs and the contractor’s requirements. Competition will be strong.

Do I need experience?
Yes. This database targets skilled workers. General labourers may have opportunities in later project phases, but this round is for people with training and proven work history.

The contractors will contact shortlisted candidates directly. There’s no fixed timeline—it depends on when each project phase begins.
Can I submit my CV by email or WhatsApp?
No. You must hand-deliver it in person to one of the three official locations.
What Happens Next?
If you qualify, get your documents together now. Don’t wait until May. The earlier your CV is on file, the better your chances when recruitment begins.
Remember: infrastructure projects like this create long-term work. Being registered early puts you in a strong position for multiple opportunities as the project unfolds.
