Executive Administrative Assistant at Red Energy - Commercial Solar Specialists

--Powermax General Electrical Merchants Ltd--

Job Description

We’re Red Energy - commercial solar specialists with over 15 years of experience powering up South African businesses with smart, cost-saving, no-nonsense solar solutions.

We’re looking for a sharp, organised and proactive Admin Assistant to support our Installation Director and keep our solar projects running like clockwork.

This role is not for someone who waits for instructions. It’s for someone who’s two steps ahead. Who understands project flow. Who knows how to organise chaos into calendars, keep teams accountable, and keep the right documents in the right place at the right time.

If you love a good checklist and can translate project speak into action, we want to talk.

We don’t do average, and neither should you.
