GENERALADMINCLERKPRODUCTION–INFRASTRUCTURE

This vacancy is for a General Administrative Clerk focused on production and infrastructure support, situated within the Chief Directorate’s Sub-Directorate for Infrastructure Services at the Provincial Office. The role is an entry-level clerical position intended to support the administrative machinery behind infrastructure service delivery. It offers a practical opportunity for a candidate with a Grade 12 certificate and limited or no prior work experience to gain exposure to public service administration, particularly in a technical and facilities-oriented environment. The successful incumbent will work as part of a broader team that ensures the efficient coordination of clerical, supply chain, human resources, and financial processes within the infrastructure unit.

To be considered, applicants must hold a Grade 12 Certificate and have between zero and one year of relevant experience. The role is designed to accommodate a junior candidate who is willing to learn and apply foundational administrative skills in a structured government setting. Knowledge requirements include client orientation and customer focus, effective communication, and the ability to plan and organise work. On a personal and professional level, the department expects the candidate to demonstrate honesty and integrity, flexibility, and sound computer literacy. Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively within a team.

The main duties of the post are broad but clearly centred on rendering general clerical support services. The clerk will provide supply chain clerical support within the component, which likely involves assisting with procurement-related documentation, requisitions, and record-keeping that align with public sector supply chain processes. In addition, the incumbent will offer personnel administration clerical support, meaning they will help maintain employee files, process administrative forms, and support human resources functions as needed within the infrastructure sub-directorate. Furthermore, the role includes financial administration support, which entails capturing basic financial data, processing invoices or payments where applicable, and ensuring that financial records are accurately maintained. Throughout all these tasks, the clerk must apply planning, organising, and customer-focused communication skills.

This position is based at the Provincial Office, making it a central administrative role rather than a field-based infrastructure job. It is ideal for someone who values teamwork, integrity, and flexible working in a government environment. As with many public service posts, there may be equity and employment targets that guide recruitment, and applicants should be prepared to undergo normal vetting or verification processes. The role provides a valuable starting point for a career in public administration, particularly for those interested in the operational support side of infrastructure services.
