Working at Herotel
From Opportunity to Growth: Real Stories of How Our People Thrive
Charl-Pierre
Brand Manager
How did you start your journey with us?
I started in 2017 at Breedenet, one of the ISPs later acquired by Herotel. I joined as a Marketing & Social Media Coordinator, but over time I became involved in almost every aspect of the business, including playing a key role in the full rebrand that transformed us into the Herotel we know today.
What opportunities have helped you grow here?
The acquisition of Breedenet by Herotel was the biggest turning point in my career. It opened an entirely new world of opportunities. Herotel had big ideas, strong momentum, and a vision for bringing fibre to smaller towns, exactly what communities were looking for at the time. Being part of those early fibre rollouts and the marketing efforts around them helped shape my career and skillset and gave me a full understanding of Herotel and the Brand.
Can you share a moment when you felt proud of your contribution?
I feel proud every time I see Herotel orange out in the world, the billboards, flyers, office branding, and everything that reflects our identity. Knowing I played a part in shaping the corporate identity and building the brand that people recognise today is incredibly rewarding.
How has the company supported your career development?
Herotel has supported my growth from day one. I was promoted to Brand Manager at the end of 2022, and even before that, I had leaders who backed me, challenged me, and shared knowledge. Our Learning & Development team has also levelled up, turning internal expertise into short courses that anyone can take. It’s a great way to grow your skills and earn certificates along the way.
What advice would you give to someone starting here?
Drink lot’s of orange juice, you need to turn your blood orange! Jokes aside: work hard, get involved, show up, and always go the extra mile. At Herotel, hard work really does pay off.
Doné
HR Systems Administrator
How did you start your journey with us?
I joined in October 2020 as the Executive Personal Assistant to EXCO, and in November 2021 I moved into HR when a role opened that aligned perfectly with my analytical strengths. It was a transition that felt both natural and exciting.
What opportunities have helped you grow here?
I’ve been given the space to grow into my strengths, take on new responsibilities, and learn through various training platforms. That combination has made a real difference in my personal and career development.
Can you share a moment when you felt proud of your contribution?
I felt especially proud of producing impactful HR metrics, creating our HR SharePoint sites and launching our HRConnect WhatsApp bot. Seeing those efforts positively impact the team and employees was incredibly rewarding.
How has Herotel supported your career development?
Herotel has consistently encouraged my growth through access to learning platforms, supportive colleagues, and the chance to stretch my skills in day-to-day work. That ongoing support has helped me grow with confidence and clarity in my career path.
What advice would you give to someone starting here?
Build relationships, lean into the culture, and trust that your growth will follow your effort. Herotel offers so many opportunities to learn and get involved, and the more you embrace those, the more you’ll find your place and your strengths. Stay open, stay curious, and don’t be afraid to ask for support, there’s always someone willing to help you succeed.
Olwethu
Training Administrator
How did you start your journey with us?
I started working at Herotel not so long ago. I joined in February 2024. I was attracted to the company because, as a newly graduated student, I was looking for a role where I could start building my career. I began as an Office Assistant, and it has been a great journey filled with learning opportunities, growth, and wonderful career memories.
What opportunities have helped you grow here?
One of Herotel’s values is “Learning Mind,” and this helped me explore and gain opportunities across the business, from working in HR and today I am working with L&D as the Training Administrator. It is a company that gives you the chance to voice your ideas and showcase your skills. I have also gained confidence and overcome the fear of working with senior staff. Today, I am comfortable engaging with the company’s top management.
Can you share a moment when you felt proud of your contribution?
A moment I felt truly proud of was when I was given the opportunity to contribute to the community. Community heart to connect with the community by caring, I loved spending time with our people, visiting local shelters, and giving back to the community in Stellenbosch.
How has Herotel supported your career development?
Herotel has supported my career development in many ways, from allowing me to complete short courses on the Herotel Academy to offering Skills Development programmes that have made a significant impact on my professional growth.
What advice would you give to someone starting here?
My message to anyone joining Herotel is to be yourself, stay open minded, and be teachable. The people in this company are always willing to share their knowledge. Learn as much as you can from everyone, and remember to have fun while learning, because that is how the lessons truly stay with you.
Ismail
Field Technician Senior
How did you start your journey with us?
I started in 2021 as a High-Site Assistant, with the goal of becoming a technician. A few months later, through consistent performance, positive attitude, and strong work ethic, I was given the opportunity to move into a Technician role. In 2023, I was promoted to Senior Technician.
What opportunities have helped you grow here?
Working on complex network environments, including large sites like game reserves and wind farms, has really accelerated my technical growth. These environments require advanced troubleshooting and problem-solving compared to standard home installations.
Can you share a moment when you felt proud of your contribution?
Being selected as a training facilitator for colleagues in East London and Joubertina made me incredibly proud. It was recognition of the work I’ve put in since day one and gave me the opportunity to help grow others in the business.
How has Herotel supported your career development?
The Herotel Academy has been a key part of my development. It helps connect the practical work we do daily with the theory behind it, giving a full understanding of how networks and internet infrastructure work in the field.
What advice would you give to someone starting here?
Be passionate about your work, believe in the company, and be willing to prove yourself every day. If you do that, you will build a successful career here.
Liam
Social Media Liaison
How did you start your journey with us?
I joined in November 2020 as a Technical Assistant, working mainly with fibre, and later expanding into the wireless side of the business. It was a very special time in my life as my daughter was born later that month, so I’m still incredibly grateful for what the company has meant to me and my family.
What opportunities have helped you grow here?
The Herotel Academy courses helped me combine practical field experience with theory, which has formed the foundation of my knowledge and skillset.
Can you share a moment when you felt proud of your contribution?
Recently, one of our most experienced field and high-site technicians shared a message thanking me on behalf of clients in the Willowmore area. Hearing that my support and willingness to go the extra mile made a difference to both colleagues and customers was very rewarding.
How has Herotel supported your career development?
The company showed strong belief in me when I was promoted from Technical Assistant to Junior Field Technician. I was trusted with more responsibility and independence, which helped me grow professionally while continuing to learn and develop.
What advice would you give to someone starting here?
If you’re hardworking, willing to learn, prepared to make sacrifices, and ready to go the extra mile in a client-focused environment, you’re in the right place.
Tozama
Helpdesk Team Captain
How did you start your journey with us?
I joined in January 2022 as a Tier 1 Helpdesk Agent. Within the same year, I was promoted to Shift Leader and then quickly moved into a Team Captain role. I held that position until transitioning into my current role as a Tier 3 Network Engineer. It’s been a fast-paced and rewarding journey.
What opportunities have helped you grow here?
Internal training programmes, mentorship, and being trusted with escalations and complex tasks really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The open-door culture also makes it easy to learn from senior team members and gain valuable insights.
Can you share a moment when you felt proud of your contribution?
I once assisted a client who had been struggling with ongoing network issues. When he came into the office, I could see how frustrated he was. After troubleshooting, I identified the root cause and recommended replacing his equipment. Once the issue was resolved, the relief and appreciation from the client made me incredibly proud to have helped get things sorted.
How has Herotel supported your career development?
The company has been very supportive through platforms like the Herotel Academy, offering courses that are relevant to both the business and individual departments.
What advice would you give to someone starting here?
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone is here to help you learn and grow. Be proactive and take every opportunity to absorb knowledge.
At Herotel, growth isn’t just a benefit — it’s built into every role, every story, and every opportunity.
