Job Description

This engineering group in Boksburg needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Boksburg, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.

What you need

Available for the odd early start or late finish
Discreet with board, salary and legal information
Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
Excellent written English and polished emails
Calm when plans change at the last minute

Extra points for

SAP Concur or similar expense tools
Afrikaans or another second language for client work

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Boksburg really suit you before you apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: your PA or secretarial qualification, a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months) plus a CV naming the level of executives you supported.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
