• NGO staff — project managers, WASH and health officers, monitoring and evaluation; many positions offer renewable 12-month contracts.

Preparing for industrial and mining jobs in Tete

As the database registers 4 open vacancies in Tete as of 24-09-2026 (mining, construction, NGO, recruitment agency), technical roles usually require specific preparation. Here is what typically differs compared to office jobs in Maputo:

• Pre-employment medical check-ups: many mining and industrial project positions require a physical fitness test before entering the site — check the job ad to see whether the company pays for it or if you do.
• Short technical training: courses in industrial safety, machinery operation certifications, and risk prevention open doors to operational roles that an office CV cannot reach.
• Shift availability and on-site accommodation: many industrial positions in Tete work on a shift basis and include on-site housing — the allowance varies by company. Confirm the accommodation allowance/per diem in the job ad and during the interview.
• Safety (QHSE): knowledge of safety practices is a real advantage in mining — recruiters value candidates who demonstrate familiarity with PPE, risk analysis, and evacuation procedures.

For technical and industrial profiles, the guide to Careers in Civil Construction and Engineering covers the construction sector; the Careers in Mining guide covers the mining sector and opportunities in Tete.

Scams to avoid in Tete

The pattern is the same across the country, but it repeats in Tete because of genuine demand for mining jobs:

• Never pay for a job — upfront fees for "training", "documents", or "materials" are always a scam.
• Apply only through official channels (company or agency website). CBE Southern Africa posts jobs and accepts applications only on its official portal — the same applies to Changara, World Vision, and any other organization.
• Be wary of anyone asking for card details before an interview (IBAN, phone numbers of "facilitators").
