🚀 Student Desk Expert Insight: The Power of “Megawatt Park” on your CV
Working at Eskom’s HQ is like getting a Master’s degree in Public Sector Procurement.
- Complex Sourcing: You won’t just be buying office supplies. You will be exposed to the procurement of high-value technical components and services that keep the national grid running.
- The “N6” Advantage: Eskom is specifically inviting National N Diploma holders. This is a major win for TVET College graduates who often struggle to find “Head Office” placements.
- Governance Mastery: You will learn the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and National Treasury regulations firsthand. In South Africa, a Supply Chain professional who understands PFMA compliance is highly employable in any government department or SOE.
What You Will Learn During the GIT Programme
- Tender Adjudication: Participating in the dual adjudication processes and supplier evaluations.
- Contract Coordination: Mastering the “literacy” of legal agreements and purchase order tracking.
- Procurement Risk: Learning how to identify supplier delays and escalate compliance issues before they affect the grid.

- Education: National Diploma or National N Diploma (NQF Level 6) with a minimum of 240 credits.
