Job Description

You'll handle the full HR cycle for an open-cast mine in Hammarsdale, from hiring to hearings. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at an open-cast mine in Hammarsdale. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Track leave, absenteeism and sick notes and act on patterns.
  • Represent the company at CCMA conciliations and arbitrations.
  • Handle grievances with notes, dates and a clear written outcome.
  • Coordinate training and submit SETA grant claims on time.
  • Run onboarding, contracts and probation reviews for new staff.

Must-haves

  • Valid driver's licence for multi-site roles
  • Good report writing and Excel
  • Confident facilitating hard conversations with managers and unions
  • CCMA experience, at least at conciliation
  • Solid working knowledge of the LRA, BCEA and EEA
  • A degree or diploma in HR management, labour relations or industrial psychology

Helpful, not essential

  • Skills development facilitator (SDF) training
  • Experience on a unionised site or in a bargaining council sector

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: proof of SABPP registration, if registered, certified copy of your ID plus a CV listing CCMA cases and hearings you have handled.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.
