Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Network Administrator in Secunda, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.
Overview
An experienced Network Administrator is needed to support operations in Secunda. The role forms part of how the business keeps its it jobs portfolio strong in 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.
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 Secunda much easier.
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 Secunda.
Based in Secunda
The role is based in Secunda, close to the Komatipoort border post. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Secunda and the broader Mpumalanga region.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Secunda, Mpumalanga.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Secunda.
Many candidates already living within reach of Secunda cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Mpumalanga economy.
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 Secunda.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Secunda.
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.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Mpumalanga.
A Typical Day
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 Secunda.
Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.
In addition, the Secunda 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 Workplace
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.
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.
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.
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.
