Candidates must not be previous beneficiaries of the YES Programme.
Applicants are required to have completed Grade 12 or equivalent with Mathematics, Science, and English. Additionally, candidates should hold or be pursuing a BTech, BSc, or BEng degree in Civil Engineering. Being computer literate and demonstrating a strong willingness to learn new skills relevant to civil engineering are essential. GIBB places high value on responsibility and honesty in its applicants. Disabled youth are encouraged to apply and should mention their disability in their application.
All successful candidates will be placed at the Johannesburg offices of GIBB. Applications must include an updated CV, copies of qualifications and academic records, and a copy of the applicant’s ID.
