About the Opportunity

The Litigation Secretary position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Western Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Saldanha and across the legal and security jobs space.

In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Saldanha also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

What Your Day Looks Like

Your day is built on focus and detail. You work through matter files or post lists, review evidence or contracts and check that every required record is in place. Communication with site teams, attorneys, clients or SAPS is constant, and you keep your reports factual, precise and timely. When something out of the ordinary happens, you respond calmly and follow procedure, knowing that good documentation today protects the business tomorrow.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Saldanha.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
