This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Banqueting Coordinator in Uitenhage, and we encourage applicants from across Eastern Cape to consider this opportunity.
About This Position
The Banqueting Coordinator position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Eastern Cape. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Uitenhage and across the hospitality jobs space.
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.
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 Uitenhage teams, and the new Banqueting Coordinator will feel that from the first week.
Your Workplace
Beyond that, the environment is service-led and people-centred. Expect varied hours, a high tempo during peaks, and a team culture built on hospitality and pride in the guest experience.
Beyond that, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Eastern Cape.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Uitenhage site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
