In this varied role, the successful applicant will provide administrative support to the Alexandra and Queenstown Service Centres. You will ensure that both Centres run like clockwork. From fleet management, stock taking and ordering, minute taking and record keeping, data entry, health and safety, reconciliations, coordinating meetings, rooms, and everything in between.
