Department Of Public Works Application

Fair Warning

The AfrikaBurn Department of Public Works (DPW) is an incredibly hard-working on-site crew. We live on Quaggafontein in the Tankwa Karoo for about two months, setting up and breaking down the AfrikaBurn event in the desert with no permanent infrastructure to rely on. The conditions are harsh, the work is tough, the people incredible.

Being a part of the DPW family is a life changing experience – if you aren’t keen to have your life changed for the better (or the worst – no guarantees), please do not apply.

Applications close on the 5th December 2025.

Too late ouens - the team is already making selections and stuff. If you really want in, please mail dpw@afrikaburn.com with your excuse, and you may get a link.
