Established in 1996, PIP is a dynamic and fast-growing company that delivers rapid, sus­tainable results and builds better businesses for our clients.  PIP operates in Africa, Australia/New Zealand, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America across many industries. 

We deliver results…
At PIP, we don’t just focus on results, we work alongside our clients to deliver them.
We get excited when we see production increasing, sales accelerating, service improving, costs falling – not when we see charts showing opportunities for someone else to chase.
We don’t tell managers how to make change happen, we roll up our sleeves and work with them until it’s locked in.
We have plenty of smarts, but zero interest in being the smartest guys in the room. You’ll find us on the shop-floor, not in an office tower. We’re more likely to be wearing steel-caps than loafers.
300-page slide decks are not our thing. Moving the dial in real time is.

Current opportunities…
Due to ongoing growth there are opportunities for motivated individuals to join the PIP team in South Africa and around the world.  PIPers have varied backgrounds in industry and strat-house consulting so don’t panic if you don’t have experience in the industries we’ve been working with. We’ve got plenty of experts to help bring you up to speed, and we’re growing fast in other industries, too.
