Vacation Work (non-bursar)

Please Note:  Sasol occasionally provides a limited number of opportunities to obtain practical work experience (vacation work), related to their field of study, to non-Sasol bursary students. These opportunities will be availed to students in most of the regular/general engineering study disciplines who can provide proof that the vacation work is required by the particular University for graduation purposes.

Applicants must be South African citizens and available/willing to complete vacation work.

Vacation work is not equivalent to so-called “experiential training” required for completion of a diploma or in some cases the previously B.Tech. degrees.  These opportunities are for so-called vacation work and not for P1 and P2 experiential training.

South African Citizens Only 

Students who, in terms of their University curriculum, must do vacation work in order to comply with the requirements for graduation purposes.  

Only current 2nd, 3rd and 4th students, studying towards a B. Engineering / B.Sc. Engineering degree a standard South African University (not a University of Technology) in the following study disciplines may apply for vacation work:

  • Chemical
  • Civil
  • Electrical
  • Electronic
  • Industrial
  • Mechanical
  • Metallurgy
  • Mining

Although all South African students are welcome to apply, preference will be given to qualifying students with/from:

  • Exceptional/good academic records (students on the standard/minimum study period for the degree involved)
  • Children of Sasol employees (whose legal guardians are working for Sasol)
  • Residing in/from our fence-line communities
  • Those in higher study years will get preference to those in lower study years (e.g. 4th years before 3rd years)

Please note that unattached vacation work opportunities are limited and based on the needs & capacity of our business. Students must be able to provide their own accommodation and transport to work and back.
