Lodge Manager

Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Lodge Manager in Secunda, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Secunda operation, and this Lodge Manager position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the hospitality jobs function and contribute to the wider Mpumalanga business.

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.

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 hospitality jobs group in Secunda.

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 Secunda teams, and the new Lodge Manager will feel that from the first week.

Your Future Here

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the hospitality jobs team in Secunda have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

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

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

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

Why Join Us

Equally, 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 Secunda keep progressing.

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

Your Workplace

Importantly, the environment is service-led and people-centred. Expect varied hours, a high tempo during peaks, and a team culture built on hospitality and pride in the guest experience.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Secunda site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Beyond that, 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.

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.

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

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.
