Banqueting Coordinator

Whether you are an experienced Banqueting Coordinator or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Secunda. The team hires on merit and across communities in Mpumalanga.

The Role

This Banqueting Coordinator role sits within the hospitality jobs function in Secunda. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Mpumalanga.

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

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

What We Offer

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

Crucially, the role’s development opportunities, training and benefits, if offered, will be set out in the final vacancy details.

In addition, the package, working arrangements and any available support will be confirmed by the hiring organisation for this vacancy.

Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.

Day in the Life

Your shift usually starts with a brief from the duty manager, a quick station check and a look at the day’s bookings or specials. As guests arrive, you slip into a steady rhythm — warm welcomes, accurate orders and seamless coordination with the kitchen and bar. Service peaks demand calm focus and tight teamwork, and quieter moments are spent resetting tables, polishing glassware or training a new starter. When the last guest leaves happy, you know you have delivered a memorable hospitality experience.

In addition, the Secunda 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.

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

Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.

Your Future Here

In addition, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the hospitality jobs team in Secunda have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

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 Secunda team member.

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

Our Commitment to Transformation

Beyond that, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across Mpumalanga, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.

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 Secunda.
