  • Leverage the ERP system to streamline financial processes, improve data accuracy, and provide insights into production costs.
  • Support capital expenditure (CAPEX) project analysis and post-implementation reviews.
Job Experience & Skills Required:
  • SAICA-accredited BCom Accounting Degree.
  • Completed SAICA articles (trainee contract) is essential.
  • 3-5 years of post-articles experience in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment.
  • Proficient in a major ERP system (SAP, Oracle, and JDE).
  • A background in metal manufacturing, mining, heavy engineering, or automotive will make you a standout candidate, with a strong understanding of standard costing and production variances.
