Job Description

Keeping an open-cast mine in Kimberley fair, legal and well staffed is the heart of this job. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Kimberley-based, with most of your time spent at an open-cast mine. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

Advise line managers on the Labour Relations Act and the BCEA.
Track leave, absenteeism and sick notes and act on patterns.
Run onboarding, contracts and probation reviews for new staff.
Represent the company at CCMA conciliations and arbitrations.
Compile the Employment Equity report and the Workplace Skills Plan.
Consult with shop stewards and attend union meetings.
Run exit interviews and report turnover each quarter.

You'll need

At least 3 years as an HR officer or generalist
A degree or diploma in HR management, labour relations or industrial psychology
Valid driver's licence for multi-site roles
Solid working knowledge of the LRA, BCEA and EEA

Extra points for

HR system experience such as Sage 300 People or PaySpace
Experience on a unionised site or in a bargaining council sector

On offer

Annual performance bonus
Medical aid and provident fund contributions
CPD and SABPP fees paid
Company car or travel allowance for site visits

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): proof of SABPP registration, if registered, certified copy of your ID plus a CV listing CCMA cases and hearings you have handled.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Kimberley.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Quantify your IR work: how many hearings, CCMA cases and outcomes; that is what HR managers check first.
Name the bargaining councils or unions you have dealt with, as sector knowledge often decides the shortlist.
