This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Records Officer in Phalaborwa, and we encourage applicants from across Limpopo to consider this opportunity.
About the Opportunity
The organisation is investing in its Phalaborwa operation, and this Records Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the administration jobs function and contribute to the wider Limpopo business.
Notably, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Phalaborwa operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Records Officer is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Limpopo is consistently high and consistently fair.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the administration jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Phalaborwa much easier.
Crucially, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Phalaborwa also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Based in Phalaborwa
Practically speaking, the role is based in Phalaborwa, near the Polokwane regional hub. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Phalaborwa and the broader Limpopo region.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Phalaborwa, Limpopo.
Many candidates already living within reach of Phalaborwa cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Limpopo economy.
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 Phalaborwa.
Career Growth
Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The administration jobs space in Phalaborwa offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Limpopo.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Phalaborwa have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Limpopo.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Phalaborwa 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.
Where You’ll Work
Crucially, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.
In addition, 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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Phalaborwa site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Limpopo. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
