Job Description

This engineering group in Stellenbosch needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Stellenbosch; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.
  • Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
  • Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.

Must-haves

  • Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
  • At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
  • Excellent written English and polished emails
  • Calm when plans change at the last minute

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Stellenbosch really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a CV naming the level of executives you supported, your PA or secretarial qualification plus two references from executives you worked for.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

How to stand out

  • Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
  • Expect practical tests on Word formatting, Excel and minute-taking, so brush up on styles and tables first.
