How to read this map

This census is based on Inademy's database (status OPEN, as of 24-09-2026). Each number below is the count of active vacancies by province — and the list changes daily. When you see a province with few vacancies, it does not mean the market has stalled: it means most open opportunities at this time are elsewhere. The map shows you where to focus your search today.

The map by province (24-09-2026)

Maputo (city + province): 96 vacancies

Maputo is the hub of the Mozambican job market: 96 active vacancies, the highest concentration in the country — sector breakdown is available in the filter on the jobs page. The market here is driven by volume and turnover — if you have an administrative, commercial, or technical profile, you will find plenty of options. The Job Vacancies in Maputo guide explores the capital in depth, while the Jobs in Matola guide covers the neighbouring city.

Cabo Delgado: 47 vacancies

The Afungi gas project (Coral FLNG) accounts for many of the technical vacancies in the north, alongside post-conflict reconstruction NGOs (Save the Children, NRC, Solidarités, ACF, JRS, Johanniter, Oikos, ICRC). The Vacancies in Pemba and Cabo Delgado guide details the Pemba area and LNG logistics.

Sofala (Beira): 7 vacancies

Beira currently has 7 active vacancies. The city's market is dominated by the port, industry, and services. The Jobs in Beira guide covers the area.

Zambézia: 5 vacancies

Zambézia has 5 active vacancies, led by healthcare organisations (HAMC, C-Saúde) and NGOs with teams in the province (JHPIEGO, FHI 360, IPAS). The Vacancies in Zambézia guide provides full details on the province.

Tete: 4 vacancies

Tete currently has 4 active vacancies (mining and construction listed as of 24-09-2026). The Vacancies in Tete guide covers the area.

Inhambane: 4 vacancies

Inhambane has 4 active vacancies as of 24-09-2026 (the database lists roles in mining, gas, and tourism — the guide breaks down each one). The Vacancies in Inhambane guide details the province.

Nampula: 3 vacancies

Nampula currently has 3 active vacancies. The city is also the gateway to the Nacala Port Corridor. The Jobs in Nampula guide covers the area.

Niassa: 3 vacancies

Niassa has 3 active vacancies — the northernmost province in the country has lower volume, but offers roles in healthcare, logistics, and NGOs.

Gaza: 1 vacancy

Gaza currently has 1 active vacancy — the market is smaller, but opportunities pop up in agriculture, logistics, and public services.

Why provinces with fewer job vacancies have higher-profile roles

The pattern is consistent: provinces with fewer active vacancies (Tete, Zambézia, Inhambane, Nampula, Niassa) concentrate high-profile positions — healthcare, mining, logistics, and international NGOs. The reason is simple: market volume is centered in Maputo (96 out of 170, DB 24-09-2026); the remaining provinces have lower overall volume, but the roles lean toward specialized technical profiles (engineering, QHSE, project logistics, healthcare) — compensation varies by position, check the job posting to confirm.

If you cannot relocate, this means applying remotely (many NGO and project positions accept candidates from across the country) and tailoring your technical profile — the guide to Professions with the Most Vacancies shows where each profile fits.

Job vacancies by sector nationwide (census 24-09-2026)

The survey of 170 job vacancies in Mozambique is broken down by sector as follows (Inademy database as of 24-09-2026):

• NGOs & Development: 37 — the sector with the most active vacancies; concentrated in Cabo Delgado (16) and Maputo (14), with listings in Zambézia, Sofala, Tete, and Inhambane.
• Construction & Engineering: 26 — 18 in Maputo and 5 in Cabo Delgado; Afungi project and civil works across several provinces.
• Oil & Gas (LNG): 23 — majority in Cabo Delgado (15), in the Afungi/Pemba area.
• Commerce & Retail: 15 · Transport & Logistics: 14 — commerce is concentrated in Maputo (14 out of 15).
• Banking, Insurance & Finance: 11 (all in Maputo) · Healthcare & Pharma: 9 · IT: 8 — the breakdown by province is in the filter on the vacancies page.
• Accounting & Tax Management: 7 · Human Resources: 7 — office-based roles, mainly in Maputo.
• Others (Management & Advisory 3, Mining 3, Agriculture 3, Industry 2, Accounting & Finance 1, and 1 unclassified): 13 — lower volume but with highly specialized profiles.

What this shows: the sector with the most opportunities (NGOs, 37) has the largest concentration in Cabo Delgado (16, DB 24-09). If you have a project or NGO background, Cabo Delgado, Maputo (14), and Zambézia (3) record the highest volume of sector positions in the database. The NGO Career guide and the In-Demand Professions guide provide a deeper look into these profiles.

Province with 0 vacancies today: Manica

In the week of 24-09-2026, the census records 0 active vacancies in Manica — the inland province (Chimoio) has no census listings this week. This does not mean there is no hiring demand: the local market operates through job fairs, educational institutions, and official channels. The rule is the same for any province: always verify the official channel of the job posting and never pay for a job opportunity.

How to read the numbers (and why they change daily)

The census is a snapshot from 24-09-2026. The number of job vacancies in Mozambique changes day by day: companies open new positions, deadlines pass, and Inademy archives closed ones. That is why:

• Do not compare today's number with yesterday's — the map structure (provinces, sectors, profiles) is stable; the number is volatile.
• Use the map to set your focus, not as a list of job openings — the current list is always on the Active job openings page, filtered by province.
• If a province has 0 today, new openings appear regularly — the list changes daily.

The sectors behind the numbers (which province has what)

Mining and energy

Coal in Tete (Changara mine), the Afungi gas project (Cabo Delgado), and coal operations (Massinga and Temane, in Tete province) drive most of the country's technical hiring. The Oil and Gas Careers guide covers the LNG sector, while the Mining Careers guide covers coal.

NGOs and reconstruction

The north (Cabo Delgado, Niassa) and central regions (Zambézia, Nampula) host most international NGO programmes — health, WASH, protection, and food security. The NGO Careers guide and the NGO CV Template show you how to get started.

Tourism and hospitality

The Bazaruto Archipelago (Inhambane), Island of Mozambique (Zambézia), and the northern coast (Pemba) account for most of the sector — some roles are seasonal, so check the contract type in the job ad. See the Hospitality and Tourism Careers guide.

Logistics and transport

The Nacala-Port corridor (Nampula) and the Port of Beira (Sofala) move the region's supply chains. See the Transport and Logistics Careers guide.

Salaries across each province

The starting point is the national minimum wage of MZN 18,900 (2026) — full table by sector. From there, each sector has its own benchmark:

• Driver: Driver Salary 2026
• Doctor and nurse: Doctor and Nurse Salary
• Mining and energy: specific career guides (above)

International NGOs use their own pay bands (many well above the national minimum), while the private sector varies by company.

What each province offers (sectors, employers, and job profiles)

Maputo: the service hub (96 job openings)

• Niassa: the northern border — agriculture, field logistics, health, and NGO projects.
• Gaza: the rural south — farming, livestock, logistics, and public services.
• The trend: in both provinces, opportunities rely more on NGO programs and the public sector than on private companies — always verify job postings through official channels.

How to choose the right province for your profile

It's not just about "where the most jobs are" — it's about "where your profile is in high demand". Here is a practical breakdown:

• Administrative / Commercial profile: Maputo (volume) — or Matola, in Maputo Province: filter by city on the job map.
• Industrial Technical profile (engineering, QHSE, maintenance): Cabo Delgado (LNG), Tete (mining — DB 24-09), Inhambane (Sasol).
• Healthcare profile: Zambézia and Nampula (recorded NGO healthcare roles in the DB) + provincial public sector roles in any city.
• Hospitality / Tourism profile: Inhambane (Bazaruto), Zambézia (Ilha de Moçambique) and Cabo Delgado (Pemba) — check the job ad to confirm if the role is seasonal.
• Logistics / Transport profile: Nampula (Nacala-Porto), Sofala (Beira) and provincial capitals.
• NGO profile: Cabo Delgado (reconstruction), Zambézia/Nampula (health), Niassa — check the job ad to see if the position is local or open nationwide.

The golden rule: don't limit yourself to your city. If your profile is in demand in another province, relocating (or applying remotely) opens up a whole new market. Check the job ad to confirm if the role requires on-site presence.

The State and public recruitment: where official vacancies are published

Besides the private sector and NGOs, the Mozambican State opens public recruitment processes in ministries, provincial services, and local municipalities. Official notices are published through State channels (check directly with the relevant provincial services).

In Inhambane, authorities urge companies to advertise vacancies through the National Employment Institute (INE) — a sign that public channels also handle local employment demand. The rule is the same as in the private sector: use official channels only — and never pay to "guarantee" a spot in a recruitment process.

Moving to another province for a job: what to check before accepting

A good offer in another province requires checking 5 key points before you sign:

1. Accommodation and travel: does the company or NGO provide housing, travel tickets, and a per diem? (Many project roles and NGOs provide these; confirm this in writing.)
2. Local cost of living: the gross salary might look good — but what is left over after rent, food, and family expenses in that province? (The cost of living varies significantly between Maputo and inland provinces.)
3. Healthcare and schooling: if you are bringing your family, are there decent healthcare facilities and schools in the town?
4. Duration and renewal: is it a fixed-term or project-based contract (12-24 months)? Is contract renewal stated in writing?
5. Local safety: some areas (e.g., northern Cabo Delgado) were affected by conflict in 2017-2019 — verify the current security situation before accepting (our guide on Working in South Africa covers options for moving out of the country).

How often we update this map

We update this map every week. Each week, the Inademy team cross-references our database (status OPEN) with new vacancies by province.

Today's count (170 on 24-09-2026) changes daily, but the structure of the map (provinces, sectors, and job profiles) remains stable. If you see a province with 0 vacancies, don't be discouraged: new openings appear regularly — the list changes from day to day.

How to use this map (your action plan)

1. Identify the province: if you can relocate, choose the province with the most job openings in your sector (Maputo for services; Cabo Delgado for LNG/NGOs; Tete for mining).
2. Check current listings: this map is a snapshot from 24-09-2026 — listings change daily. Filter by province on the Active vacancies on Inademy page.
3. Prepare your profile: get an updated CV tailored to your sector (the How to write a CV guide serves as a base; for NGOs, use the specific template).
4. Apply through official channels: company/NGO website, Inademy portal, or recruitment agencies (CBE — see the Employment Agencies guide).
5. Follow up after 7-10 days: if you haven't received a response, get in touch once to check on your application status.

Job scams: the golden rule applies in every province

Regardless of the province, the rule is the same: never pay for a job vacancy. The scam pattern ("training", "document", or "materials" fees) repeats from north to south — and in Inhambane, DW (2025) reported young people paying between 100 and 500 euros to "facilitators". The rules:

• Apply only through the official channel listed in the job post (company/NGO/institute website).
• Never share your bank details or card numbers before a formal interview.
• Be suspicious of "recruiters" in messaging apps who ask you to transfer money before securing the position.

Frequently asked questions about job vacancies in Mozambique by province

How many active job vacancies are there in Mozambique in 2026?

There are 170 active vacancies as of 24-09-2026 in the Inademy database (96 in Maputo, 47 in Cabo Delgado, 7 in Sofala, 5 in Zambézia, 4 in Tete, 4 in Inhambane, 3 in Nampula, 3 in Niassa, 1 in Gaza). This number changes daily.

Which province has the most job vacancies?

Maputo, with 96 vacancies (56% of the total). Cabo Delgado comes second with 47 (the Afungi gas project accounts for many of the region's technical roles).

What if I live in a province with few job vacancies?

You have three options: (1) apply remotely — many NGO and project roles accept candidates from anywhere in the country; (2) move to the province with the most job vacancies in your field; (3) focus on the technical roles available in your province (health, mining, logistics), even if the volume is low.

Do NGOs pay better than the private sector?

Many international NGOs use their own pay scales, which are often above the national minimum wage. Salary amounts vary by organization, role, and level — confirm the details in the job listing or during your interview.

Can I work for an NGO if I do not speak English?

It depends on the role. Many NGO positions require functional English, while others (such as local operational roles) do not. Check the job requirements in the listing before applying.

Where can I find job fairs in the provinces?

Each province hosts local events (organized by educational institutions, NGOs, and the tourism sector), but dates change from year to year. Check directly with the organizers before traveling — and never pay money "to secure a job slot."

What documents do I need to work in any province?

Required documents vary by job listing (NUIT, training certificates, medical checks, among others) — check the job posting and view the full list in our guide on documents required to work in Mozambique.
