Job Description

At this engineering group in Vereeniging, you'll be the person who knows where everything and everyone is. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at an engineering group in Vereeniging. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
  • Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
  • Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
  • Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
  • Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.

You'll need

  • Available for the odd early start or late finish
  • Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
  • Calm when plans change at the last minute
  • Excellent written English and polished emails
  • Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

Extra points for

  • Afrikaans or another second language for client work
  • SAP Concur or similar expense tools
  • A driver's licence for errands

What you get

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

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

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

  • Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
