South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
At Energy Capital & Power, I lead the HR function as Acting Head of HR, reporting to the COO and partnering with the CEO on workforce strategy, organisational structure, people planning, and employee-related decisions.
I manage the full employee lifecycle, from workforce planning, agency relationships, recruitment, offers, onboarding, and induction through to performance management, disciplinary processes, remuneration guidance, and employee relations.
I own the company-wide HR policy framework and Employee Handbook, keeping them aligned with South African labour legislation. I also oversee international assignments, immigration and visa compliance, employment contracts, lease agreements, and HR data protection requirements under POPIA and GDPR.
I've progressed through HR Administrator, HR Coordinator, and Junior HR Manager roles at Energy Capital & Power. I use SmartRecruiters and PSiber to maintain HR data, support reporting to leadership and the Board, improve HR processes, and guide workplace operations.
