Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Compliance Officer to Hazyview and join a team that moves fast. This Mpumalanga role is one to watch.
The Role
The Compliance Officer position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Mpumalanga. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Hazyview and across the legal and security jobs space.
In addition, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Hazyview team on trust, and the Compliance Officer role will feel that from week one.
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 Hazyview teams, and the new Compliance Officer will feel that from the first week.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Compliance Officer to step into the legal and security jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
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 legal and security jobs group in Hazyview.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Hazyview 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.
