They're seeking a skilled SharePoint Developer to design, develop, and deploy a fully functional SharePoint intranet, along with critical business tools and automated workflows. This is a foundational role. You will not simply build pages—you will help shape how our team requests time off, approves expenses, tracks projects, onboards new staff, and manages compliance.

If you perform well in this initial 6‑month engagement, we will look to extend your role to develop more sophisticated business tools and workflows as our company scales.

Requirements

• Formal qualification in SharePoint development (certification or degree in IT/Computer Science related field).
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in SharePoint development (online or on-prem).
• Proven ability to demonstrate past work – you must be able to share examples or a portfolio of previous SharePoint intranets and workflows you have built from concept to deployment.
• Experience building approval workflows (leave, expenses, project, travel, etc.) is essential.

Preferred (Not Required, but a Plus)

• Experience working with TimePro or similar timesheet/project tracking software.
• Familiarity with the mining or engineering consultancy sector (understanding of PPE, medicals, site travel).
• Ability to recommend better tools or processes beyond initial request.

Who You Are

• A self-starter who enjoys building systems from the ground up.
• Someone who can translate a simple request like “track leave” into a logical, user-friendly workflow.

• Detail-oriented, especially around document control and compliance workflows.

Why Join This Role
