Work-Force
An opportunity has arisen for a IT Project Manager in Ermelo. Suitably qualified candidates from across Mpumalanga are invited to apply.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Ermelo operation, and this IT Project Manager position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the it jobs function and contribute to the wider Mpumalanga business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the it jobs team in Mpumalanga make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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 Ermelo teams, and the new IT Project Manager will feel that from the first week.
Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the it jobs group in Ermelo.
Working in Ermelo
Ermelo continues to grow as an employment hub in Mpumalanga, with close to the Komatipoort border post. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.

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.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the it 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.
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.
In addition, the team mix in Ermelo reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
The Environment
In addition, 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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Ermelo 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.
