The SANRAL N2 Section 34 upgrade project is building a skilled labour database for 2026, giving qualified local workers a route into future project-based construction, safety, environmental, and coordination roles.
The Raubex, WBHO, and Cebekhulu Joint Venture is building a Skilled Labour Database for the SANRAL National Route N2 Section 34 upgrade project between Verzameling (KM 30) and Leinden (KM 60). The database will help identify qualified local workers who may be considered for employment as the project moves forward.
This is not a single job vacancy. Instead, it is a project-based labour pipeline for future placements during the road upgrade. For local residents with experience in construction, safety, environmental compliance, or coordination work, this is an important registration opportunity.
What is the SANRAL N2 skilled labour database?
The database supports the SANRAL National Route N2 Section 34 upgrade project in Mpumalanga. It covers the section between Verzameling and Leinden and will be used to identify local skilled workers for possible employment during the project.
Large infrastructure projects often use labour databases before active recruitment begins. As a result, registration can be the first step toward future work on site.
Which roles are included in the database?
The project is requesting skilled workers in several categories.
Construction roles include Construction Hand Grades 1 to 3, Shutter Hand Grades 1 to 3, Steel Fixer Grades 1 to 3, and Concrete Hand Grades 1 to 3. These roles support site work such as steel placement, concrete preparation, shuttering, and related structural activities.
The database also includes Environmental Officer, Site Safety Co-ordinator, Site Safety Officer, Banksman, Site Environmental Co-ordinator, and SED Training Co-ordinator.
What are the requirements for these roles?
Some roles come with specific training or experience requirements.
The Environmental Officer role requires at least two years of experience, Legal Liability training, HIRA knowledge, understanding of NEMA and General Authorisations, environmental training, and computer literacy.
The Site Safety Co-ordinator role requires knowledge of Legal Liability, Incident Investigation, HIRA, and computer literacy. The Site Safety Officer role requires SAMTRAC, NEBOSH, and computer literacy, while SACPCMP is listed as an advantage.
The Banksman role requires a relevant training certificate. The Site Environmental Co-ordinator role requires environmental training, NEBOSH certification, snake catching certification, and computer literacy. The SED Training Co-ordinator role requires computer literacy, strong organisational skills, and field experience will be beneficial.
Who can register on the database?
Only residents of Mkhondo Local Municipality and Msukaligwa Local Municipality may be considered. Applicants must also hold a valid South African Identity Document, have experience in one of the listed skilled categories, and have completed training through an accredited provider.
Applicants must also be able to pass a site fitness test if required. In addition, municipal proof of residence is mandatory.
Which documents must be submitted?
Applicants must hand in a detailed CV, a certified copy of ID, municipal proof of residence, training certificates, and proof of work experience.
This document set is important. Without proof of residence, the application is unlikely to be considered.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: Put your proof of residence near the front of your application pack. This database is strictly for local workers, so that document carries real weight.
Where must applications be submitted?
Applications must be hand-delivered. The joint venture accepts submissions at the following points:
Raubex WBHO Cebekhulu JV Site Offices
Corner of N2 and Zandspruit Road along the N2
Tender Box at Msukaligwa Local Municipality
Marked: RAUBEX SKILLED LABOUR DATABASE
Tender Box at Mkhondo Local Municipality
Marked: RAUBEX SKILLED LABOUR DATABASE
Only physical submissions are accepted.
When is the closing date?
The closing date for registration is 22 May 2026. Applicants should prepare and submit their documents before that date.
Why is this skilled labour database important?
The SANRAL N2 upgrade is a major road improvement project. Projects like this often create demand for skilled workers across construction, safety, environmental compliance, and coordination roles.
For local applicants, this database is an early route into possible project-based work. It gives qualified workers a chance to be considered before full recruitment begins.
That matters because large infrastructure projects often recruit in phases. As the project moves forward, contractors may draw from this database when labour needs increase.
For residents of Mkhondo and Msukaligwa, this makes the database more than a simple registration process. It is a practical way to position yourself for future work on an active SANRAL road project.

Final Thoughts
The SANRAL N2 Road Project Skilled Labour Database is a valuable registration opportunity for qualified local workers who want to be considered for future project-based roles linked to the Section 34 road upgrade. Applicants who meet the local residency rules and have the right training, experience, and supporting documents should prepare their submissions early and hand-deliver them before the closing date.
