Job Description

Numbers, names and codes cross your screen all day at this municipal contract project in Pietermaritzburg. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a municipal contract project in Pietermaritzburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

  • Scan and index files so they can be found by reference number.
  • Hit daily volume targets with an accuracy score above 98%.
  • Enter sales orders on SAP or Sage and print picking slips.
  • Capture claim forms, invoices or delivery notes onto the system.
  • Prepare simple Excel reports on volumes and backlogs.
  • Update client records when addresses or banking details change.
  • Pull and file physical records in date or account-number order.

Must-haves

  • Basic Excel: sorting, filtering and simple formulas
  • Typing speed of at least 35 wpm with good accuracy
  • You can concentrate on repetitive work for a full day
  • Comfortable with overtime at month-end

Extra points for

  • SAP, Sage or Pastel experience
  • Medical terminology or ICD-10 coding basics

On offer

  • Close to public transport routes
  • Training on the company system from day one
  • Office hours with overtime paid at the BCEA rate
  • Contracts that often turn permanent for strong performers

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your SA ID or work permit, your matric results, certified plus any computer or typing course certificates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.
