Job Description

This engineering group in Brakpan needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Brakpan, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

The work, day to day

Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.
Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.

You'll need

At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
Available for the odd early start or late finish
Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

Helpful, not essential

Legal secretary experience with court processes
Afrikaans or another second language for client work

On offer

Hybrid days once settled in
Parking in a secure basement
Medical aid and provident fund
13th cheque and performance bonus

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): two references from executives you worked for, a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus your PA or secretarial qualification.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Brakpan.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
