Talented, career-orientated Namibian professionals looking for stimulating careers in a challenging environment, are encouraged to send their CVs to Swakop Uranium, a press statement issued this week said.
Swakop Uranium is currently building what would be the world’s second largest uranium mine in the desert about 60 km from Swakopmund. Although the mine will only become operational in the second half of 2015, Swakop Uranium wants to mobilise and train its permanent staff complement of about 1 800 well in advance. According to Percy McCallum, Swakop Uranium’s Director Human Resources, the focus is on ensuring operational readiness by building the strength of the Swakop Uranium team. “Our aim is to attract and retain skilled individuals and to coach and mentor emerging talent, so that the company can ensure it has a world-class pool of Namibian employees.”
He says although all permanent jobs will be advertised in the media and also on the Swakop Uranium website (www.swakopuranium.com), the company encourages suitably qualified professionals to apply, even if it is not in response to an advertisement.
“We will first consider all Namibian applicants. If no suitable Namibian skills are available, then non-Namibians will be considered in line with current legislation,” he said.
McCullum stresses that Swakop Uranium is a greenfield development that offers stimulating and challenging roles for talented people to develop their careers.
“We are an international company with international shareholders and local shareholding through the state owned mining company, Epangelo. Our value proposition is that we are looking for talented career-orientated Namibians, especially graduates and other professionals, who are interested in working in a multi-cultural environment and rubbing shoulders with people from the global village,” according to him.
