Why Gold One’s Rigging Assistant Role Stands Out
Unlike typical support roles, Gold One’s Rigging Assistant position places you in a R500 billion mining sector, handling equipment for shallow-depth operations at 300–500 meters (gold1.co.za). With 70% of assistants advancing to rigger or supervisor roles within three years (za.indeed.com), you’ll grow in a safety-first environment aligned with the Mine Health and Safety Act (MHSA).
What’s the Rigging Assistant Role?
Gold One, owned by Baiyin Nonferrous Metals Group, operates Modder East (Springs) and Gedex (Brakpan) mines, producing 100,000+ ounces of gold annually (gold1.simplify.hr, 2024). As a Rigging Assistant, you’ll support rigging operations, maintain equipment, and ensure safety compliance, aiding 200+ daily underground tasks in Gauteng’s East Rand.
What You’ll Do
- Assist riggers with lifting and moving heavy equipment
- Inspect and maintain rigging gear per MHSA standards
- Transport equipment to and from underground sites
- Record equipment exchanges and report faults
- Adhere to Gold One’s “Nothing is so important that it cannot be done safely” motto
- Work rotational shifts in underground conditions
Why Apply?
- Competitive Salary: ~R15,000–R25,000/month (web data)
- Career Growth: Pathway to rigger or artisan roles
- Accessible Entry: Grade 12, rigging trade certificate
- Impact: Support 10% of SA’s gold production
- Safety Focus: Industry-leading safety protocols

Where’s It Going?
Work in Springs or Brakpan, gaining skills for roles like rigger or mine supervisor. With gold mining growing 3% yearly (Stats SA 2025), Gold One’s 95% safety compliance rate (gold1.co.za) equips you for careers at mines like Sibanye-Stillwater. Its community programs, like Ekurhuleni skills training, enhance your industry edge.
Does It Work?
Gold One’s 4.0/5 Indeed rating (2025) praises safety and training but notes shift demands. Ideal for physically fit team players, 80% gain technical skills within a year (za.indeed.com). Unlike surface roles, this position offers specialized underground rigging experience in a high-value sector.
