You're a young, vibrant HR professional that would love to be part of a growing, international renewable energy company!

Is this you?

You have at least 6 - 8 years HR generalist experience in a corporate type environment and you're looking for that next career challenge in a developing industry.

What you'll be doing

Reporting to the Country Manager, you'll manage the full HR lifecycle for a small sized staff compliment that is part of a bigger international group - from recruitment, onboarding, payroll and benefits administration, to performance management and employee relations. You'll play a key role in developing training programmes, monitoring budgets, and ensuring compliance with labour law and group policies.

Beyond HR, you'll provide office management support, coordinate events, and ensure smooth administration that enables the wider team to thrive.

Where you'll be doing it

There are flexible working hours and two days' work from home per week, the rest of the time you'll be at the Morningside (Sandton) office.

What you'll need

A 3 year HR diploma or degree with minimum 6 years HR generalist experience especially having done everything as mentioned above.

You have a warm and welcoming personality but are also confident and able to manage yourself well in tough situations. You're the person the employees go to when they need to talk or need assistance. We're looking for someone that's a real go getter and eager for a new challenge where they can make a positive difference. You will need to have your own car and driver's license.
