Your safety comes first — read before you go. Taf4All only lists job offers published by third parties. We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

Job Purpose To support the Admin & Operations Manager in running the group’s day-to-day administration. The role is the manager’s eyes on the ground: checking that properties and sites are in good order, handling errands and follow-ups, and keeping records accurate and up to date. Key Responsibilities The work falls into four areas, with priorities set daily by the Admin & Operations Manager. 1. Support to the Admin & Operations Manager

  • Carry out day-to-day tasks assigned by the manager and report back on progress and outcomes.
  • Keep track of pending items with departments, suppliers and landlords, and follow up until they are closed.
  • Prepare letters, emails, memos and meeting notes.
  • Arrange travel, accommodation and transport for staff and visitors. 2. Property and Site Checks
  • Visit group properties and sites on a regular schedule — offices, yards, warehouses, staff housing and leased premises.
  • Check condition, cleanliness, security, utilities, fire extinguishers and signage, and record what is found.
  • Report problems promptly with photos, raise repair requests, and follow up until the work is done.
  • Keep the property register up to date: leases, landlords, rent due dates, keys and inventories.
  • Track utility bills and meter readings for each property. 3. Field Work and Errands
  • Travel to sites, suppliers, banks and government offices to submit or collect documents.
  • Collect quotations, deliver and collect items, and check deliveries against the purchase order.
  • Coordinate with security guards and contractors on site. 4. Office Administration and Records
  • Keep physical and electronic files organised, scanned and easy to find.
  • Update administrative trackers and spreadsheets, such as vehicle document expiry dates and staff records.
  • Manage office supplies and stationery requests.
  • Handle petty cash when assigned, with vouchers and receipts for every payment.

Responsabilités

  • Treat all company information as confidential, and carry out other reasonable duties as assigned. Qualifications and Experience Practical ability, reliability and computer skills matter more than a specific qualification. Candidates without a diploma will be considered if they show these strengths. Requirement Minimum Grade 12 certificate, with a pass in English and Mathematics Preferred Certificate or diploma in Business Administration, Office Management, Secretarial Studies or a similar field Experience 1–2 years in an office, administrative or front-desk role preferred; strong school leavers will be considered Driving A valid Zambian driving licence is an advantage, as the role involves regular site visits Key Skills The candidate must be computer friendly and comfortable working both in the office and out on site.
  • Computer friendly: confident with Microsoft Word, Excel (data entry, simple formulas, sorting and filtering) and email; able to scan, save and share files, and to learn new systems quickly.
  • Smartphone use: takes clear photos and sends short, accurate site reports from the field.
  • Organised: keeps a task list, meets deadlines and follows up without being reminded.
  • Observant: notices problems at properties and reports them clearly.
  • Communication: good written and spoken English; Nyanja or Bemba is an advantage.

Formation / Diplômes

  • Trustworthy: honest, discreet with company information, and careful with cash and documents.
  • Flexible: willing to travel to sites, sometimes outside Lusaka, and to work extra hours when needed.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for GROUP OF COMPANIES, place their key requirement, like Excel, right in your profile summary. This shows you’ve read the job closely and makes their needs your focus, helping you stand out as a prepared candidate.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Efficiency and discretion — Quantify your added value: correspondence handled weekly, operational budget managed, events organized. Discretion is proven by your references — ensure they're reachable and positive.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
