Work-Force
Whether you are an experienced Training Coordinator or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Harrismith. The team hires on merit and across communities in Free State.
About the Opportunity
An experienced Training Coordinator is needed to support operations in Harrismith. The role forms part of how the business keeps its hr jobs portfolio strong in Free State.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Harrismith team.
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 hr jobs group in Harrismith.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Harrismith teams, and the new Training Coordinator will feel that from the first week.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Harrismith.
The rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Equally, the Harrismith 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.
Where You’ll Work
On top of that, the environment blends desk-based administrative work with frequent interactions across the business. Confidentiality, fairness and compliance underpin the work.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Harrismith site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Notably, 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.
Practically speaking, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Free State.
Your Future Here
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the hr jobs team in Harrismith have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Harrismith have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.
Based in Harrismith
