ADMINISTRATOR – SERVICE STATION & WIMPY – Tulongeni

Most employers require a minimum of Grade 12 with passes in English and Mathematics. A diploma or certificate in Business Administration, Hospitality Management, or a related field is highly advantageous. Computer literacy, especially in MS Office and point-of-sale systems, is typically essential.

You will oversee stock control, manage cash reconciliations, supervise staff, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Daily tasks include processing invoices, handling customer complaints, and coordinating between the service station and Wimpy restaurant operations. Reporting to regional management and maintaining accurate records are also core duties.

Namibian employers value punctuality, respect for hierarchy, and strong interpersonal skills in multicultural workplaces. Expect to work flexible hours including weekends and public holidays, as service stations operate continuously. Demonstrating reliability and initiative is crucial for earning trust in this close-knit business environment.

With proven performance, you can advance to Area Manager, Regional Operations Manager, or move into corporate roles at head office. Some administrators transition to franchise ownership or consulting roles within the fuel and fast-food sectors. Continuous professional development and networking within industry associations significantly improve advancement prospects.

Benefits vary by employer but commonly include annual leave as per Namibian Labour Act, and sometimes medical aid or pension contributions after probation. Larger corporate chains may offer additional perks like staff meals, fuel discounts, or performance bonuses. Always clarify benefits during the interview process as packages differ between independent operators and established brands.

Submit a concise CV with certified copies of qualifications to the advertised contact or company website, following all instructions precisely. Employers prioritise candidates with verifiable references, clean police clearance, and demonstrated stability in previous employment. Highlight any experience in cash handling, team leadership, or customer service to strengthen your application.
