Job Description

Salary: R29 000 - R32 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Document Controller for a UK employer, fully remote from South Africa.

Role overview

You will be the single source of truth for project and company documentation: naming, versioning, issuing and archiving so nobody works from the wrong drawing or the wrong revision. It suits someone precise who dislikes ambiguity.

You will work 09:00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from home, with equipment guidance, a proper induction and a manager who is contactable through the day. This is a permanent role, not a short contract.

Key responsibilities
* Maintain the document register and control all revisions
* Issue documents to internal teams and external parties on schedule
* Enforce naming, numbering and filing conventions
* Track approvals and keep a clean audit trail
* Archive superseded documents and manage retention
* Support audits with complete, retrievable records
What you'll need
* Two or more years in document control, records or project administration
* Experience with a document system such as SharePoint, Aconex or Viewpoint
* Strong attention to version detail and naming discipline
* Clear written English for issuing and chasing approvals
* Reliable home internet and a quiet space for UK-hours work
Nice to have
* Exposure to ISO 9001 or similar quality standards
* Experience in construction, engineering or energy projects
* Familiarity with CAD drawing registers
What's on offer

A permanent, fully remote role with defined procedures, a supportive project lead and genuine ownership of the document set. Strong controllers progress into project administration or quality roles.

Tips for South African Applicants

⏰

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

💰

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

📋

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

🔌

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
