The South African Tyre Manufacturing Industry is made up of four large companies
The industry joined forces to develop a tool to assist current employees, as well as prospective job-seekers to identify career opportunities within the industry. If you have been wondering “how can I move from the position I’m in now to a new position that is more senior or in another department or in another company?”, this tool is for you!
The Jobs Catalogue is a comprehensive portfolio of all available career opportunities within the tyre manufacturing industry in South Africa. The Catalogue has 4 main functions:
A job is a set of tasks and duties carried out by one person for a particular employer, including self-employment. Each employer can call the same job by a different title.
An occupation is a set of jobs whose main tasks and duties are very similar, and which require the same level of skill. This means a number of different jobs can fall under one occupation. It also means one company can combine a variety of tasks and duties to form one job, and another can have a different combination, but all within one occupation.
The catalogue is intended for use by current employees exploring career options; prospective candidates interested in careers in the tyre industry; HR departments engaged in employment equity management, succession planning, and general staff development; anyone else with an interest in careers in the tyre industry.
For more information on possible jobs, please contact each company individually.
The Organising Framework for Occupations is a classification system for the different types of work activities available in the labour market.
A skill is defined as the ability to carry out the tasks and duties of a given job. Skills are further defined in terms of two dimensions: skill level and skill
specialisation.
Skill level refers to the level of complexity and range of tasks to be
performed within an occupation.
Skill specialisation relates to the level of expertise in respect of
knowledge required, tools and machinery used for that occupation, materials worked on or with, and the good or services produced.
An individual employer may specify minimum requirements that are different from those listed on this catalogue.
For existing workers, employers may have training and other development schemes for their employees to assist them to become eligible for promotional posts. Contact your HR department for more information.
For external candidates, the minimum requirements provide guidance on how you can become eligible to apply for opportunities within the industry.
Although the tool includes as many jobs as possible on the map, some jobs may not appear. Please contact the HR department for more information on a specific job which does not appear.
