Job Description

This agricultural pack house in Pretoria East needs an HR person who knows labour law and the shop floor. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Pretoria East, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Coordinate training and submit SETA grant claims on time.
  • Run exit interviews and report turnover each quarter.
  • Update HR policies when labour law changes.
  • Handle grievances with notes, dates and a clear written outcome.
  • Consult with shop stewards and attend union meetings.
  • Represent the company at CCMA conciliations and arbitrations.

You'll need

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

Extra points for

  • SABPP registration
  • HR system experience such as Sage 300 People or PaySpace
  • Skills development facilitator (SDF) training

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus certified copies of your HR qualification and transcript.
  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 10 working days.

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.

How to stand out

  • Quantify your IR work: how many hearings, CCMA cases and outcomes; that is what HR managers check first.
  • Prepare for a case-study question on dismissing an employee fairly, and walk through procedure and substance.
