Empact Group company profile

Empact Group is the scale player in South African contract catering and facilities management — 30,000+ employees across all nine provinces, serving corporate canteens, mines, hospitals, and schools. The diversity of site placements is one of the most distinctive features of working here: an Empact career can take you from a Johannesburg corporate campus to a Northern Cape mining operation to a KZN hospital, building breadth that no single-site employer can provide.

The learnerships and NQF skills programmes are genuine and structured, and the B-BBEE Level 1 status reflects the company's serious commitment to transformation. For candidates who want a kitchen or facilities career with a national employer that will keep growing regardless of the economic cycle, Empact is a foundational choice.

Candidates can apply for roles at Empact Group through the South African jobs platform by uploading a CV highlighting any kitchen, cleaning or site-based experience. Applications undergo initial screening for Matric and relevant certificates, followed by interviews and practical assessments for catering positions, plus background and medical checks for mine, hospital or school contracts.

The full process from submission to offer typically spans three to six weeks. Applicants should obtain a food handling certificate in advance and emphasise physical fitness to improve their chances for site-based hospitality work.
