What Department of Electricity and Energy Circular 36 of 2026 Is About

DPSA Vacancy Circular 36 of 2026 includes an advertisement from the Department of Electricity and Energy for positions based at its Head Office in Pretoria.

The supplied advertisement covers five vacancy listings across legal and corporate governance, environmental and climate policy, information technology security, management accounting, and supply chain administration.

Each post has its own qualification requirements, experience criteria, duties, salary level, reference number, and application email address. Applicants should assess each post separately instead of assuming the same qualifications or application instructions apply throughout the advertisement.

For example, a candidate with an accounting diploma and budgeting experience should examine the State Accountant: Management Accounting vacancy. An applicant with an environmental science degree and relevant energy-sector experience should examine Assistant Director: Climate Change Management.

The purpose of this guide is to help applicants understand those differences, prepare the required documents, and identify the official information they need to check before submission.

Vacancy summary

Director: SOC Governance and Legal Assurance	DEE2026/019	R1,317,384	1

Assistant Director: Information Technology Security	DEE2026/021	R487,197	1

The Director position is advertised at Salary Level 13 with an all-inclusive annual package. The other positions carry Salary Levels 10, 09, 08, and 07 respectively.

The advertised salaries and position counts come from the supplied Department of Electricity and Energy extract. The department retains the right not to make appointments.

Editorial Review and Verification Method

This article uses the Department of Electricity and Energy vacancy extract supplied for DPSA Circular 36 of 2026, particularly the general application instructions and the five vacancy listings on pages 9 to 12 of the supplied document.

The editorial review covers the following details:

• Advertised job titles and reference numbers.
• Salary amounts and salary levels.
• Qualifications and NQF levels.
• Stated experience requirements.
• Job duties and technical subject areas.
• Application email addresses and enquiry contacts.
• Closing date and submission times.
• Z83 form and CV instructions.
• Requirements for shortlisted candidates.
• Recruitment assessments and suitability checks.

The guide also explains how applicants should compare their own records with the advertised criteria. These explanations are editorial guidance, not additional requirements imposed by the department.

The supplied extract does not establish every possible detail about the recruitment process. For example, it does not confirm whether each vacancy is a re-advertisement. This article identifies such gaps rather than presenting assumptions as facts.

Before publication, the publisher should confirm the stated publication date against the cover page or official publication record of the complete circular. The supplied extract alone does not establish the circular’s original publication date.

Qualification Requirements Explained

The department specifies different qualifications for the five vacancy listings. The exact subject, qualification level, professional status, and additional requirements matter.

1. Director: SOC Governance and Legal Assurance

Reference number: DEE2026/019

Salary: R1,317,384 per annum, all-inclusive package.

The advertisement requires:

• An appropriate LLB degree or equivalent at NQF Level 7 recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA).
• The Senior Management Service pre-entry certificate, known as Nyukela.
• Admission as an attorney or advocate.
• Five years of experience at middle or senior managerial level in legal or corporate governance.

The advertisement also identifies knowledge of legislation, policy, corporate governance, company law, the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), project management, strategic planning, and risk management.

The position involves developing governance review instruments, supporting governance assurance projects, advising executive management and shareholders, developing legal assurance frameworks, drafting legal opinions, and managing the directorate.

Practical assessment: A law qualification alone does not meet every stated requirement. Check the professional admission requirement, Nyukela certificate, and management experience before preparing an application.

2. Assistant Director: Climate Change Management

Reference number: DEE2026/020

Salary: R605,742 per annum.

Number of posts: Two.

The department requires an appropriate Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Sciences or Environmental Sciences at NQF Level 7, recognised by SAQA.

The experience requirement is three to four years in energy, with specialisation in environment, energy, or sustainable development.

The advertised duties include coordinating environmental management plans and climate change policies, monitoring environmental compliance, supporting low-carbon development, providing policy analysis, and representing the department in environmental policy settings.

The advertisement also refers to knowledge of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies, environmental conventions, national legislation, and environmental treaties.

Practical assessment: Compare the subject of your degree and your work history with the stated fields. Experience in a broadly related occupation does not automatically demonstrate the required energy and environmental specialisation.

3. Assistant Director: Information Technology Security

Reference number: DEE2026/021

Salary: R487,197 per annum.

The minimum qualification is an appropriate National Diploma in one of these fields:

• Information Technology Management.
• Computer Sciences.
• Computer Systems Engineering.

The diploma must be at NQF Level 6 and recognised by SAQA.

The advertisement also requires three years of network technical or scientific experience and extensive experience in IT software.

The duties include contributing to ICT security policies and guidelines, enforcing security controls, supporting ICT contracts, installing security patches and updates, assisting with disaster recovery, and supporting ICT security investigations.

Practical assessment: Do not rely on the job title of a previous position alone. Your CV should accurately describe relevant technical responsibilities and employment periods. The department will assess whether your experience meets its stated requirements.

4. State Accountant: Management Accounting

Reference number: DEE2026/022

Salary: R413,001 per annum.

The department requires an appropriate National Diploma in Government Accounting, Cost Accounting, or a related field at NQF Level 6, recognised by SAQA.

The experience requirement is one year in finance, specifically budgeting.

The advertisement identifies knowledge of the PFMA, Treasury Regulations, departmental procedures, government financial systems, financial administration, and management accounting.

The duties include preparing supporting information for annual budget planning, capturing budget information, assisting with in-year budget processes, cash-flow management, and supervisory functions.

Practical assessment: If your experience includes budgeting, explain the work performed and the dates involved. General accounting or finance experience should not be described as budgeting experience unless your actual duties support the claim.

5. Administrative Officer: Demand Management

Reference number: DEE2026/023

Salary: R338,106 per annum.

The required qualification is an appropriate National Diploma at NQF Level 6, recognised by SAQA, in Procurement Management, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or Business Management.

The department also requires one year of experience as an Administration Clerk in Supply Chain Management.

The duties include assisting with demand planning, processing requests for goods and services, conducting market research, developing sourcing strategies, and providing secretariat support to bid specification committees for requests below R500,000.

Practical assessment: General office administration does not automatically satisfy the specific supply chain administration requirement. Compare your previous duties with the work described in the advertisement.

Experience Requirements Explained

Experience requirements help the department assess whether applicants have performed work related to the advertised position.

Position	Stated experience requirement
Director: SOC Governance and Legal Assurance	Five years at middle or senior managerial level in legal or corporate governance
Assistant Director: Climate Change Management	Three to four years in energy, specialising in environment, energy, or sustainable development
Assistant Director: Information Technology Security	Three years of network technical or scientific experience, plus extensive IT software experience
State Accountant: Management Accounting	One year of finance experience in budgeting
Administrative Officer: Demand Management	One year as an Administration Clerk in Supply Chain Management

How to present your experience

A comprehensive CV should make your work history easy to assess. For each relevant position, provide your job title, employer, employment dates, and a clear description of the duties you performed.

Where relevant, identify the types of projects, systems, processes, or subject areas you handled. Only include details supported by your actual work history.

For example, an applicant seeking the State Accountant position should describe genuine budgeting responsibilities rather than listing only general finance duties. An applicant seeking the IT security position should explain the relevant network or software-related work performed.

The department’s advertisement does not prescribe a separate CV template. The aim is to present accurate information that helps the recruiter compare your experience with the advertised criteria.

Who Should Apply for These Vacancies?

Consider applying if your qualifications, professional status, and experience match the requirements for a specific post.

The vacancies are relevant to:

• Legal professionals who meet the qualification, admission, Nyukela, and management experience requirements.
• Environmental and energy professionals who meet the specified degree and experience criteria.
• IT professionals with the listed diploma and relevant technical experience.
• Accounting and finance applicants with the required diploma and budgeting experience.
• Procurement, logistics, and supply chain applicants with the specified diploma and administrative experience.

You should also consider whether the Pretoria duty station suits your circumstances and whether you are able to comply with the application instructions.

The department states that it is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. Its general notice encourages applications from persons whose appointment, promotion, or transfer would promote representativity, particularly persons with disabilities and women interested in senior management positions. Individual vacancy notices also include additional representativity statements.

Who Should Not Apply?

Review the minimum requirements carefully before spending time preparing an application.

You should reconsider applying for a particular post if you lack a mandatory qualification, do not meet the stated NQF level, lack the required professional admission status, or do not have the specified experience.

The same applies if you intend to use the old Z83 form, omit required information, submit a JPEG application, or send the application to an incorrect address.

Do not assume the department will overlook missing mandatory requirements. If the wording is unclear, consult the complete official advertisement and use the listed enquiry contact for clarification.

Application Checklist

Use this checklist before sending your application.

• Select the correct vacancy.
• Record the exact job title and reference number.
• Check the qualification and NQF level.
• Confirm any required professional admission status or certificate.
• Compare your work history with the stated experience requirement.
• Complete the 2021 version of the Z83 form.
• Complete Sections A, B, C, and D in full.
• Answer the Part F question about conditions preventing re-appointment.
• Initial the form and sign the declaration.
• Prepare a comprehensive CV with qualifications, experience, and employment periods.
• Combine the Z83 and CV into one PDF attachment.
• Open the PDF and check that all pages are readable.
• Use the correct job title and reference number in the email subject.
• Verify the recipient’s email address against the official notice.
• Submit before the relevant closing time.
• Retain the sent email and the final application file.

The department states that incomplete or non-compliant applications, applications missing requested documents, and late applications will not be considered.

What the Official Advertisement Requires

The supplied extract states the following application rules:

1. Use the 2021 version of the Z83 form.
2. Submit a comprehensive CV.
3. Combine the Z83 and CV into one PDF attachment for email applications.
4. Complete Sections A, B, C, and D of the Z83 in full.
5. Sections E, F, and G allow “refer to CV” or “see attached” where appropriate because of limited space, but the question about conditions preventing re-appointment under Part F must be answered.
6. Initial the Z83 and sign the declaration.
7. Include the correct job title and reference number in the email subject line.
8. Use the email address specified for the relevant vacancy.
9. Do not submit JPEG or picture-based applications.
10. Submit a separate application for each advertised post.
11. Submit certified qualification copies and other related documents when requested as a shortlisted candidate, on or before the interview day.
12. Provide a SAQA evaluation report for foreign qualifications if shortlisted.

The notice also states that fax applications are not accepted.

These instructions apply alongside the qualification and experience requirements of the selected post.

Which Qualification Wording Matters?

Certain phrases in the advertisement deserve close attention.

“Appropriate qualification” means the qualification must fit the subject area stated in the notice. A diploma at the correct level in an unrelated field does not automatically meet the requirement.

“Recognised by SAQA” identifies a qualification recognition condition. Do not assume your qualification satisfies the requirement without checking its status.

“At NQF Level 6” or “at NQF Level 7” identifies the required qualification level. Check the level of your actual qualification rather than relying on the name of the course alone.

“Plus” introduces an additional requirement. For the Director position, the advertisement lists the degree or equivalent, Nyukela certificate, professional admission status, and relevant management experience.

“Or equivalent” appears in the Director’s qualification requirement. Do not assume a different qualification automatically qualifies as equivalent. The department assesses the application against its requirements.

What Relevant Experience Means in Practice

Relevant experience should connect your previous work with the subject and responsibilities of the vacancy.

For the climate change position, relevant duties might include environmental management, climate policy, emissions monitoring, environmental compliance, or low-carbon development in the energy sector. These examples explain possible connections to the advertised duties, but do not replace the stated experience criteria.

For IT security, relevant work might include ICT security controls, network-related technical responsibilities, software work, security updates, or disaster recovery support.

For management accounting, budgeting, financial reporting, budget preparation, and cash-flow responsibilities might help explain relevant experience.

For demand management, supply chain administration, demand planning, procurement support, and sourcing processes might demonstrate a connection to the advertised duties.

For legal assurance, corporate governance, legal advisory work, legislative compliance, and managerial responsibility might be relevant.

These examples are editorial explanations, not extra eligibility requirements. Do not claim duties or experience you did not perform.

Is Any Position a Re-advertisement?

The supplied Department of Electricity and Energy extract does not identify any of the five vacancy listings as a re-advertisement.

The extract also does not establish whether any position appeared in an earlier circular.

For this reason, the re-advertisement status is unconfirmed based on the supplied pages. Check the complete official circular and any department notice before describing a post as re-advertised.

If the official advertisement explicitly marks a position as re-advertised, follow any additional instructions included in that notice.

Does the Application Require Z83 Plus CV?

Yes. The department requires the 2021 version of the Z83 form and a comprehensive CV.

For email applications, both documents must be combined into one PDF attachment. Do not send separate Z83 and CV attachments when following these instructions.

Complete the required sections, answer the Part F question about conditions preventing re-appointment, initial the form, and sign the declaration.

The advertisement states that shortlisted candidates will be asked for certified copies of qualifications and other related documents on or before the interview day. Applicants with foreign qualifications must provide a SAQA evaluation report if shortlisted.

Where Must Applications Be Sent?

Use the email address assigned to the specific vacancy.

Common Application Mistakes

The advertisement specifically identifies errors that result in applications not being considered.

Using the wrong Z83 form

The department requires the 2021 version. The notice states that applications using the old form will not be considered.

Sending separate attachments

For email applications, combine the Z83 and CV into one PDF attachment.

Submitting JPEG files

The department states that JPEG or picture-based applications will not be accepted.

Using the wrong email address

Check the application email for your selected vacancy. Do not assume every post uses the same destination.

Omitting the reference number

Include the correct job title and reference number in the subject line. This helps identify the vacancy for which you are applying.

Leaving the Z83 incomplete

Complete the required fields, initial the form, sign the declaration, and answer the Part F question specified in the notice.

Applying after the deadline

The department states that late applications will not be considered. Allow enough time to prepare and submit the application.

What Documents Should You Prepare?

For the initial application, prepare:

• The completed 2021 Z83 form.
• A comprehensive CV.

Combine both into one PDF attachment for email submission.

Your CV should accurately show your qualifications, employment history, experience, and the periods involved. Keep supporting records such as certificates, professional admission evidence, and employment records available for verification.

The department does not require every applicant to attach certified qualification copies to the initial application in the supplied notice. It states that shortlisted candidates will be required to submit certified copies of qualifications and other related documents on or before the interview day.

If you hold a foreign qualification, prepare to provide a SAQA evaluation report if shortlisted.

How to Verify That the Advertisement Is Genuine

Before submitting personal information, compare the vacancy details with the official source.

What Happens After the Closing Date?

After the closing date, the department manages the recruitment process. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee shortlisting or appointment.

The department assesses applications against the requirements of the post and identifies candidates for further consideration. Shortlisted applicants may be asked to provide certified qualification documents and other related records on or before the interview day.

The general notice describes personnel suitability checks, including criminal record, citizenship, credit record, qualification, and employment verification.

The notice also states that suitable candidates will undergo two pre-entry assessments. One is a practical exercise assessing suitability against technical and generic requirements. The other is an integrity assessment.

For Senior Management Service posts, the department specifies a technical exercise and interview. Following those stages, a maximum of three SMS candidates will undergo psychometric assessments covering cognitive capabilities, behavioural preferences, emotional intelligence, and integrity.

The notice states that no SMS appointment will be implemented without the relevant candidate producing the Nyukela pre-entry certificate.

The department reserves the right not to make an appointment at any stage. Correspondence will be limited to shortlisted candidates.

Applicants who have not been contacted within three months after the closing date are advised to accept that their applications were unsuccessful.

How These Vacancies Fit into Government Recruitment

Government recruitment generally begins with an official vacancy notice that sets out the job duties, qualifications, experience, and application procedure.

Applicants submit their documents according to those instructions. The department then assesses applications against the requirements of the relevant post.

Shortlisted applicants might proceed to interviews, technical exercises, document verification, or other assessments described in the advertisement. Suitable candidates might also undergo personnel suitability checks.

For the Department of Electricity and Energy vacancies, the first practical step is to submit the correct Z83 and CV in the required format to the correct address before the deadline.

Retain the final application file and sent email. Do not interpret successful email delivery as confirmation of shortlisting or appointment.

Editorial Review: What We Noticed

The supplied advertisement places considerable emphasis on the correct Z83 form, a comprehensive CV, a single PDF attachment, the correct email address, and the reference number in the subject line.

These instructions deserve attention because the department states that non-compliant and late applications will not be considered.

The five vacancy listings also have different qualification and experience requirements. Applicants should compare their actual records with the selected post rather than choosing solely on the basis of salary or job title.

The supplied extract does not confirm the re-advertisement status of the posts. This guide therefore avoids describing any vacancy as re-advertised without official evidence.

The review covers the supplied pages. Applicants should consult the complete official circular and check for later amendments before submission.
