IT Project Manager

A IT Project Manager position is being filled in Butterworth. Suitable candidates from across Eastern Cape are invited to submit their applications for review.

About the Opportunity

The IT Project Manager vacancy forms part of how the Butterworth branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the it jobs side of the business moving forward.

Equally, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Butterworth team on trust, and the IT Project Manager role will feel that from week one.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the IT Project Manager to step into the it jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

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 Butterworth much easier.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Butterworth.

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

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

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.

Day in the Life

Your day tends to start with a quick standup, where the team shares progress and surfaces blockers. From there, you settle into focused build time, breaking tickets into manageable chunks and pairing with colleagues when something gets thorny. Afternoons mix code reviews, planning discussions and the occasional production incident — everyone pulls together, fixes the issue and feeds the lessons back into the next sprint. By the time you sign off, you’ve shipped value, learned something new, and left clean code behind you.

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

Beyond that, the Butterworth 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.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

What We Offer

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Butterworth colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the it jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Eastern Cape.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Butterworth teams.

Notably, 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 Butterworth keep progressing.

The Environment

Equally, the environment is hybrid-friendly where the role allows, with collaborative tooling, modern source-control workflows and a strong emphasis on shared ownership of code and incidents.

Practically speaking, a respectful, professional environment is the standard in Eastern Cape. 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 Butterworth site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Importantly, 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.
