Work-Force
Whether you are an experienced Database Administrator or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Sabie. The team hires on merit and across communities in Mpumalanga.
The Role
The Database Administrator vacancy forms part of how the Sabie branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the it jobs side of the business moving forward.
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.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the it jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Sabie much easier.
The Environment

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Sabie site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
On top of that, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Mpumalanga.
Your Team
Crucially, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Sabie office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Mpumalanga operations get busy.
