Executive Assistant

The organisation is recruiting a Executive Assistant for its Secunda operation. The role forms part of a wider administration jobs portfolio across Mpumalanga.

What This Role Involves

Equally, the Executive Assistant vacancy forms part of how the Secunda branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the administration jobs side of the business moving forward.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Secunda team.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Executive Assistant is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Mpumalanga is consistently high and consistently fair.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Executive Assistant 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

In addition, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Secunda office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Mpumalanga operations get busy.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

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.

Equally, the team mix in Secunda reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Career Growth

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The administration jobs space in Secunda 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 Mpumalanga.

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

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

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.

Your Workplace

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

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

Practically speaking, 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.

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

Our Commitment to Transformation

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 Secunda.

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.

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

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