About This Position

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the it jobs group in Phalaborwa.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Phalaborwa also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Your Future Here
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the it jobs team in Phalaborwa have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Your Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the it jobs side of the business inside out. The Phalaborwa group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Day in the Life
Your day tends to start with a quick standup, where the team shares progress and surfaces blockers. From there, you settle into focused build time, breaking tickets into manageable chunks and pairing with colleagues when something gets thorny. Afternoons mix code reviews, planning discussions and the occasional production incident — everyone pulls together, fixes the issue and feeds the lessons back into the next sprint. By the time you sign off, you’ve shipped value, learned something new, and left clean code behind you.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Phalaborwa.
On top of that, the Phalaborwa 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.
Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Limpopo operations throw up the unexpected.
