Are you a veteran of the South African mining sector? A powerhouse in labor relations and human capital? A premier mining house in the **Northern Cape** (think the iron ore and manganese heartland of Kuruman/Kathu) is looking for a **Senior HR Manager** to lead their people function.
This isn't a "desk job"—this is a high-impact leadership role where you’ll navigate the complexities of union negotiations, CCMA cases, and the unique challenges of a remote mining operation.
### 💰 The Package & Perks
* **Salary:** Highly Negotiable. Industry benchmarks for this level in the Northern Cape range from **R70,000 – R90,000+ CTC pm**.
* **Benefits:** Expect mining-grade benefits + relocation/remote allowance potential.
* **Location:** Kuruman, Northern Cape (The gateway to the Kalahari).
* **Closing Date:** **12 May 2026** (Only 15 days left—Apply ASAP!).
### 🔍 Are You the Right Fit? (The Non-Negotiables)
The mining industry is specific, and this client is looking for a specialist. Before you apply, check these boxes:
* **The "10/5" Rule:** You MUST have **10 years of mining industry experience** PLUS at least **5 years as a dedicated HR Manager**.
* **Qualifications:** A BCom Degree in HR Management (or equivalent) is essential.
* **Labour Law Expert:** Extensive knowledge of the CCMA and dispute resolution. You need to be "battle-tested" with unions (NUM/AMCU).
* **Location Ties:** Preference is strictly given to those living in or with previous experience in the **Northern Cape**.
### ⚒️ What the Job Actually Is
You will be the senior HR lead for a massive operation (potentially 500-2000+ employees).
* **40% Union/Employee Relations:** Handling wage negotiations, strikes, and grievances.
* **30% Compliance:** Ensuring you meet Mining Charter requirements and Labour Legislation.
* **20% Talent Management:** Recruitment for specialized mining roles and workforce planning.
* **10% Strategy:** Aligning HR goals with the mine’s production objectives.
### ⚠️ Reality Check & Red Flags
* **Corporate HR isn't enough:** If your background is only in Finance or Retail HR, this isn't for you. Mining labor dynamics are a different beast.
* **The Kuruman Lifestyle:** It’s hot, it’s remote, and the nearest major mall is in Kathu. This is for someone committed to the Northern Cape lifestyle.
* **Urgency:** With only 15 days left, the recruiters are moving fast. Expect a call within 7 days if you meet the criteria.
