Success Guide
This role is a great fit if you have a couple of years of office admin under your belt and you are curious about architecture or property. When you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows how you have kept projects organised before: think deadlines you tracked, documents you managed, or teams you supported.
The practice values creativity and attention to detail, so if you have any exposure to CAD, design software or construction environments, even in a small way, highlight it. You do not need to be an architect, but showing that you are interested in the field will set you apart.
Since the role requires English and Afrikaans, be ready to mention your comfort level with both. Also note that you will need your own transport for occasional trips, so have that ready to discuss. Good luck!
