Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Fleet Controller for its Mmabatho operation. The role forms part of a wider logistics jobs portfolio across North West.
What This Role Involves
This Fleet Controller role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Mmabatho. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across North West.
Equally, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Mmabatho operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Fleet Controller is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in North West is consistently high and consistently fair.
Where You’ll Work
In addition, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in North West. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mmabatho site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Day in the Life
Your day kicks off in the yard or at the dock, checking schedules, briefing your team and lining up the day’s priorities. You move between receiving, picking, dispatch and the WMS, keeping a close eye on accuracy and time slots. There are constant conversations — with drivers, controllers, customers and the warehouse floor — and the better you communicate, the smoother things run. By the end of the shift, the racks are tidy, the trucks are out, and the next inbound load is already on its way.
Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Mmabatho office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Career Growth
Crucially, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Mmabatho have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Mmabatho team member.
