Executive PA (Private Equity)

At this engineering group in Benoni, 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.

The work is in Benoni, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
