Secretary

A Secretary is needed in Pretoria. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Gauteng operation.

What This Role Involves

An experienced Secretary is needed to support operations in Pretoria. The role forms part of how the business keeps its administration jobs portfolio strong in Gauteng.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Pretoria team.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Secretary to step into the administration jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Equal Opportunity

The organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Pretoria.

Career Growth

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The administration jobs space in Pretoria offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Gauteng.

In addition, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Pretoria have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Based in Pretoria

Working in Pretoria means a place near the Midrand technology hub, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Gauteng region, and the Pretoria office benefits from those long-standing connections.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Pretoria.

Many candidates already living within reach of Pretoria cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Gauteng economy.
