Access Control Officer

Applications are warmly invited for a Access Control Officer role based in Mbombela. We welcome candidates from every background across Mpumalanga who are ready to grow with us.

About This Position

An experienced Access Control Officer is needed to support operations in Mbombela. The role forms part of how the business keeps its legal and security jobs portfolio strong in Mpumalanga.

The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Mbombela team on trust, and the Access Control Officer role will feel that from week one.

Notably, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Mbombela also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the legal and security jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Mbombela much easier.

The Environment

Beyond that, the environment is process-driven and regulation-aware. Whether you are at a desk or on site, attention to detail, calm conduct and accurate reporting are non-negotiable.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mbombela site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Mpumalanga. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

In addition, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Meet the Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the legal and security jobs side of the business inside out. The Mbombela 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.

Notably, the team mix in Mbombela reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Equal Opportunity

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Mbombela.

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.

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

Why This Role

On top of that, you will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Mbombela colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the legal and security jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Practically speaking, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Mbombela keep progressing.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Mpumalanga.
