About This Role
This role sits at the operational heart of a multidisciplinary consultancy firm, handling the flow of communication, documentation, and scheduling that keeps project teams—spanning engineering, architecture, branding, and finance—coordinated. As an Office Secretary, you will be the central point for internal and external correspondence, meeting logistics, and administrative support, making this ideal for a detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-sector environment. Given the company’s broad service portfolio, you’ll need to adapt quickly to shifting priorities and diverse professional vocabularies.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The listing’s emphasis on a minimum 3.25 GPA and graduation from a recognized university signals that the employer values academic discipline and analytical aptitude over years of clerical experience. While the role is junior-level, the requirement for recent graduates (2024/25) suggests the company is investing in trainable talent who can grow within their structure. The high GPA threshold implies that you must demonstrate strong organizational skills and a track record of meeting deadlines—traits directly transferable to managing a busy office.
How to Approach This Application
Your cover letter and CV should explicitly highlight your cumulative GPA (3.25 or above) and graduation year, as these are non-negotiable screening filters. Emphasize any administrative or internship experience where you managed correspondence, scheduled meetings, or supported a team, even if in a non-office setting. Since the firm operates in multiple sectors, mention your ability to handle diverse tasks and communicate clearly with professionals from different fields. Tailor your application to show you are organized, reliable, and ready to learn quickly.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a recent graduate with a strong academic record who wants to enter the consultancy world and gain exposure to multiple industries. Competition will be moderate, with preference given to candidates who clearly meet the GPA and graduation year criteria.
The Company is currently seeking to recruit qualified and competent professionals for various positions in consultancy, engineering, architecture, branding, procurement, and finance functions.
