Cybersecurity Analyst

A Cybersecurity Analyst is needed in Hazyview. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Mpumalanga operation.

About This Position

An experienced Cybersecurity Analyst is needed to support operations in Hazyview. The role forms part of how the business keeps its it jobs portfolio strong in Mpumalanga.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the it jobs team in Mpumalanga make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Cybersecurity Analyst to step into the it jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Equal Opportunity

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Mpumalanga, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Hazyview.

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

Working in Hazyview

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

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 Hazyview.

Many candidates already living within reach of Hazyview 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.

Where You’ll Work

Crucially, the environment is hybrid-friendly where the role allows, with collaborative tooling, modern source-control workflows and a strong emphasis on shared ownership of code and incidents.

Importantly, 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.

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.
