Job Description

This engineering group in Centurion needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Centurion; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

  • Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
  • Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
  • Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
  • Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
  • Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.

You'll need

  • Available for the odd early start or late finish
  • Excellent written English and polished emails
  • At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
  • Discreet with board, salary and legal information

Extra points for

  • Afrikaans or another second language for client work
  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  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): your PA or secretarial qualification plus a CV naming the level of executives you supported.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
