What the work may be like

Altron is one of South Africa's defining JSE-listed technology groups — spanning systems integration (Altron Systems), vehicle tracking and telematics (Netstar), and digital business solutions. The breadth of the group means technical careers can develop in multiple directions, and the long-standing SA ownership provides a stability that contrasts with the multinational operators who may exit the market if global priorities shift.

The graduate programmes are well-funded and recognised, vendor certifications are sponsored, and the large national client base exposes staff to significant-scale ICT implementations. For candidates who want a JSE-listed SA tech company with real history, domestic ownership, and strong client relationships, Altron is a foundational ICT employer.

Hiring and application process

Candidates can apply for roles at Altron through the company’s careers portal or this jobs platform by submitting a CV that emphasises Matric plus relevant certifications for technical positions or formal qualifications for engineering and development roles. Applications are screened for ICT experience, followed by technical assessments or coding tests, virtual or in-person interviews with hiring managers from divisions such as Altron Systems or Netstar, and final reference plus background checks.

The process from application to offer typically spans four to six weeks. Prepare by reviewing Altron’s systems integration and telematics solutions and preparing examples of how your skills support their public-sector and corporate clients.
