QA Tester

Applications are warmly invited for a QA Tester role based in Parys. We welcome candidates from every background across Free State who are ready to grow with us.

About This Position

The QA Tester position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Free State. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Parys and across the it jobs space.

Practically speaking, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Parys operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Equally, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Parys also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

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 Parys.

Based in Parys

Working in Parys means a place within the Maluti-A-Phofung logistics node, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Free State region, and the Parys office benefits from those long-standing connections.

Many candidates already living within reach of Parys cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Free State economy.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Parys, Free State.

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 Parys.

Equal Opportunity

Importantly, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

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.

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

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

Career Growth

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the it jobs team in Parys 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 Parys have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.

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