Copywriter

This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Copywriter in Komatipoort, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.

About This Position

The organisation is investing in its Komatipoort operation, and this Copywriter position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the marketing jobs function and contribute to the wider Mpumalanga business.

Working in Komatipoort

In addition, the role is based in Komatipoort, near the Secunda petrochemical hub. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Komatipoort and the broader Mpumalanga region.

Many candidates already living within reach of Komatipoort cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Mpumalanga economy.

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 Komatipoort.

The Environment

Equally, the environment is creative, deadline-driven and data-aware. Cross-functional work with sales, product and design is the norm, and ideas are tested with real audiences quickly.

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.

Importantly, 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.

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

What Your Day Looks Like

You usually start by scanning campaign dashboards over coffee, checking performance against targets and flagging anything that needs attention. Mornings are often given to creative work — briefing designers, refining copy, planning the next content drop — while afternoons mix stakeholder meetings, agency calls and a steady stream of approvals. In between, you’re watching what competitors are doing, listening to what customers are saying online, and shaping the next set of experiments to push the brand forward.

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

Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.

Notably, the Komatipoort 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.
