Payroll and HR Officer

Step into a Payroll and HR Officer role in Vanderbijlpark and make your mark across Gauteng. The team is hiring now and wants to hear from sharp, committed candidates.

The Role

This Payroll and HR Officer role sits within the hr jobs function in Vanderbijlpark. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.

The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Vanderbijlpark team on trust, and the Payroll and HR Officer role will feel that from week one.

What Your Day Looks Like

Your day is people-shaped from the moment you log in. You move between recruitment screens, manager calls, payroll queries and the occasional sensitive conversation that needs your full attention. Mid-morning you might be running an onboarding session for new starters, and by the afternoon you’re back at your desk preparing EE or B-BBEE reports. Through it all, you balance compliance with care, making sure that policies are followed and people are heard.

Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.

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