The Role
An experienced Supply Chain Analyst is needed to support operations in Ficksburg. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in Free State.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Ficksburg team.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Ficksburg.
