Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Financial Controller in Bethal, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.
About This Position
The organisation is investing in its Bethal operation, and this Financial Controller position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the finance jobs function and contribute to the wider Mpumalanga business.
In addition, the organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Financial Controller taking on this position.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the finance jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Bethal much easier.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Financial Controller to step into the finance jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

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

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Bethal teams.
In addition, 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 Bethal keep progressing.
Where You’ll Work
Importantly, the environment is structured and deadline-driven, with peaks around month-end, year-end and audit cycles. The wider team is collaborative, but focused work is the norm.
Practically speaking, 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 Bethal 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.
