Safety Officer

Posted recently. Role: Safety Officer. Location: Calvinia, Northern Cape. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

Overview

The Safety Officer vacancy forms part of how the Calvinia branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the engineering jobs side of the business moving forward.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the engineering jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Calvinia teams, and the new Safety Officer will feel that from the first week.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Safety Officer is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Northern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.

Growing With Us

Day in the Life

Mornings often begin on site, walking through plant or project areas with the team and picking up where yesterday’s work ended. You move between technical reviews, contractor discussions and hands-on troubleshooting, balancing safety, cost and quality at every decision point. The afternoon might involve drawings, reports or a planning session for an upcoming shutdown. By the time you knock off, you have kept production running, advanced the project plan and helped the team go home safely.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Practically speaking, the Calvinia office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Calvinia.
