Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Office Administrator in Oudtshoorn, and we encourage applicants from across Western Cape to consider this opportunity.
Overview
An experienced Office Administrator is needed to support operations in Oudtshoorn. The role forms part of how the business keeps its administration jobs portfolio strong in Western Cape.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Office Administrator 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.
Your Team
The team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Oudtshoorn office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Western Cape operations get busy.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Day in the Life
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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
On top of that, the Oudtshoorn 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.
