Work-Force
Applications are warmly invited for a Executive Assistant role based in Ficksburg. We welcome candidates from every background across Free State who are ready to grow with us.
What This Role Involves
The Executive Assistant position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Free State. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Ficksburg and across the administration jobs space.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Free State 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 Ficksburg teams, and the new Executive Assistant will feel that from the first week.
Notably, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Ficksburg also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Why This Role

From structured onboarding to ongoing skills development, you will find clear paths to grow your career in administration jobs from your base in Ficksburg.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Ficksburg site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Free State. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Your Future Here
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the administration jobs team in Ficksburg have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
