The Role
The organisation is investing in its Ficksburg operation, and this In-Service Trainee Finance position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the in-service training function and contribute to the wider Free State business.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Ficksburg team.
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 Ficksburg teams, and the new In-Service Trainee Finance will feel that from the first week.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the In-Service Trainee Finance is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Free State is consistently high and consistently fair.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Free State. 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 Ficksburg site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
