Government Printing Works placed 22 adverts in Public Service Vacancy Circular 39. They include 17 production artisan posts in Pretoria at R253,341 a year for people with a trade test, and applications close on 17 November 2026.
Government Printing Works placed 22 adverts in Public Service Vacancy Circular 39, issued on 30 October 2026. All the posts are in Pretoria. The largest group is 17 production artisan posts at R253,341 a year, 9 of them under one reference number, GPW 26/023.
These posts ask for Grade 10, a completed apprenticeship and a trade test certificate. The trade depends on the post: mechanised bookbinding, craft bookbinding, packaging, electrical work or the printing industry. 15 of these 17 posts say no experience is required, and Grade 12 counts as an advantage. You must be able to get a positive security clearance.
If you don't have a trade, there are 3 clerk posts at R237,453 a year that ask for Grade 12 and no experience: two production clerks in image enhancement and one administration clerk. They need a positive security clearance as well.
Experienced artisans can look higher. Artisan foreman posts pay R397,329 a year and ask for at least 5 years after your apprenticeship. Artisan chief posts pay R499,470 a year and ask for at least 10 years.
The closing date is 17 November 2026, at 16:00 if you hand-deliver to 389 Sophie De Bruyn Street, Pretoria, and 23:59 online. To apply online, use the link under the post in the circular. Send only the new Z83 and your CV, combined as one PDF, with the job title and reference number in the subject line. The email can't be bigger than 2MB, and pictures, zipped files and JPEGs won't be accepted. Each post needs its own Z83. If you haven't heard within eight weeks of closing, take it that your application was unsuccessful.
Applying is free. Nobody should pay for a job, whoever offers to help with it.
