Senior Payroll Officer (Group Companies)

A labour-heavy mining contractor in Johannesburg CBD needs a payroll person who never misses a cut-off. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Johannesburg CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a labour-heavy mining contractor. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
