Legal Secretary (Litigation)

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at an engineering group in Hammarsdale. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Hammarsdale, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
