Safety Officer

Applications are warmly invited for a Safety Officer role based in Midrand. We welcome candidates from every background across Gauteng who are ready to grow with us.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Midrand operation, and this Safety Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the engineering jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.

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

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Safety Officer to step into the engineering jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Meet the Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the engineering jobs side of the business inside out. The Midrand group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Importantly, the team mix in Midrand reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Gauteng, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

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 Gauteng.
