What the work involves

The advertised responsibilities span asset control, purchasing and logistics. Accurate records are needed when goods are requested, ordered, received and issued, as well as when equipment is identified for disposal. The position is clerical supply-chain support, not a Deeds Examiner appointment.

• Maintain records for assets and issue furniture, equipment and accessories to users.
• Check the asset register and identify equipment that is redundant or no longer serviceable.
• Maintain supplier and contractor records and register suppliers on LOGIS or a similar system.
• Request and receive quotations, enter purchasing specifications, place orders and process bid documents.
• Support bid and contract administration, receive and verify goods, and update stock and goods registers.

Documents to prepare

Prepare a completed Z83 and a detailed CV in PDF format. The departmental instructions set a maximum document size of 10 megabytes. Use the exact advertised reference and the application destination for that post.

Submit a separate application for each post if applying for more than one, and do not send duplicate applications. The department says emailed applications receive an automated acknowledgement; hand-delivered applications are not acknowledged because of the volume received.

Shortlisted candidates provide certified identity, qualification and other required documents before interviews when requested. Foreign qualifications require the relevant SAQA evaluation. The initial application instructions do not call for unsolicited supporting documents.
