Pretoria: Regional HR Manager posted by Fempower Personnel

Our client, a leading transport organisation, is seeking a strategic and administratively strong Regional HR Manager to lead the full HR function for their Northern region. This is a senior role for a comprehensive HR generalist who excels in HR systems, payroll administration, policy implementation, and budget management within a complex, multi-union environment.

• Advanced proficiency in MS Office and hands-on experience with computerised HR, Payroll, and Time & Attendance systems

• Oversee HR data accuracy for payroll, engagements, movements, and benefits
• Manage HR budget and support operational planning
