Job Description

Every small business needs one person who holds the office together; at this construction site office in Pretoria East, that's you. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Pretoria East, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Update the monthly Excel dashboard for the owner or branch manager.
  • Capture timesheets and send them to payroll before cut-off.
  • Book training, medicals and PPE issue for new staff.

  • Process purchase orders and follow up with suppliers on delivery dates.
  • Load supplier invoices and match them to goods-received notes.

  • Matric and an office administration or bookkeeping certificate
  • You can handle many small tasks without losing track
  • Confident talking to suppliers, clients and staff
  • Good Excel and email skills
  • Working knowledge of Sage, Pastel or a similar accounting package

Helpful, not essential

  • Driver's licence to run bank and supplier errands
  • OHS Act safety file experience for construction roles
  • Basic payroll input experience

On offer

  • Annual bonus depending on business results
  • Room to grow into an office manager or bookkeeping role
