Job Description

This engineering group in Randburg needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll be based at an engineering group in Randburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
  • Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
  • Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
  • Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.

Must-haves

  • Discreet with board, salary and legal information
  • Calm when plans change at the last minute
  • Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
  • At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
  • Available for the odd early start or late finish
  • Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma

Extra points for

  • Legal secretary experience with court processes
  • A driver's licence for errands
  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus two references from executives you worked for.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.
