Work-Force
Listing live now. An opportunity has arisen for a Logistics Coordinator in Parys. Suitably qualified candidates from across Free State are invited to apply.
Overview
The organisation is investing in its Parys operation, and this Logistics Coordinator position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Free State business.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Beyond that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Parys also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
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 Parys.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Logistics Coordinator is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Free State is consistently high and consistently fair.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Parys.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Parys.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Parys.
Equally, the Parys 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.
Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
