Internal Auditor

Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Internal Auditor in Ermelo, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.

The Role

This Internal Auditor role sits within the finance jobs function in Ermelo. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Mpumalanga.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Ermelo also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

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 Ermelo much easier.

What Your Day Looks Like

Most days begin by working through your inbox, prioritising urgent supplier or audit queries before settling into the books. You move between reconciliations, journal entries and review meetings, breaking out spreadsheets when something doesn’t tie up. Mid-morning calls with operations or sales help you understand the numbers behind the numbers, and the afternoon is usually given to deeper work: management reports, tax submissions or supporting a junior with a tricky reconciliation. By the time you log off, you have nudged the business closer to a clean month-end.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Ermelo.

Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.

Beyond that, the Ermelo office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

Your Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the finance jobs side of the business inside out. The Ermelo group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Beyond that, the team mix in Ermelo reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

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.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Career Growth

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The finance jobs space in Ermelo offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Mpumalanga.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Ermelo team member.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Ermelo have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Mpumalanga.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

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.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

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

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