About This Position

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kroonstad have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kroonstad.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.

On top of that, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Kroonstad office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Free State operations get busy.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
