Administrative Officer

The organisation is recruiting a Administrative Officer for its Colesberg operation. The role forms part of a wider administration jobs portfolio across Northern Cape.

About the Opportunity

Notably, the Administrative Officer vacancy forms part of how the Colesberg branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the administration jobs side of the business moving forward.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Colesberg teams, and the new Administrative Officer will feel that from the first week.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the administration jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Colesberg much easier.

Career Growth

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The administration jobs space in Colesberg 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 Northern Cape.

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

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Colesberg team member.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Colesberg have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.

Why This Role

Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in Colesberg contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the administration jobs space in Northern Cape.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Northern Cape.

On top of that, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Colesberg keep progressing.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Colesberg teams.

Where You’ll Work

Practically speaking, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Colesberg site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Importantly, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Northern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Diversity and Inclusion

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Colesberg.

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

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.

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.

A Typical Day

Your day starts at the front of the business, ready to greet visitors, answer the switchboard and make sure the leadership diaries are in order. Through the morning you balance calls, couriers, capturing data and supporting projects with neat, accurate work. After lunch, you might be preparing minutes from a board pack, helping HR onboard a new starter, or chasing a courier across town. By close of day, every desk you support knows you have it covered, and the office is set up for a calm, productive tomorrow.

Beyond that, the Colesberg office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

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

Your Role

• Process invoices, requisitions and expense claims for approval
• Support HR with onboarding logistics for new starters
• Handle confidential information with discretion and in line with POPIA
• Coordinate office supplies, courier bookings and facilities requests
• Track and report on departmental KPIs through standard templates
• Liaise with suppliers, contractors and service providers
• Maintain visitor registers and ensure compliance with access protocols
• Maintain a tidy, professional reception and meeting-room environment

What You’ll Need

• Ability to work independently and manage competing deadlines
• Experience supporting senior managers is an advantage
• High attention to detail and accuracy in data capture
• Professional, courteous manner with strong customer-service orientation
• Relevant administrative or office management qualification (advantageous)
