Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Payroll and HR Officer in Mbombela, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.
The Role
The Payroll and HR Officer position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Mpumalanga. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Mbombela and across the hr jobs space.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the hr jobs team in Mpumalanga 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 Mbombela teams, and the new Payroll and HR Officer will feel that from the first week.
Diversity and Inclusion
Importantly, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Mbombela.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Working in Mbombela
Practically speaking, the role is based in Mbombela, near the Kruger Lowveld tourism belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Mbombela and the broader Mpumalanga region.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Mbombela, Mpumalanga.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Mbombela.
