Work-Force
A Procurement Officer is needed in Hermanus. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Western Cape operation.
The Role
This Procurement Officer role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Hermanus. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across Western Cape.
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 Hermanus team.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Hermanus teams, and the new Procurement Officer will feel that from the first week.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Hermanus also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Career Growth
Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The logistics jobs space in Hermanus offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Western Cape.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Hermanus team member.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Hermanus have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.
Why This Role
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Hermanus colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the logistics jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Equally, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Hermanus keep progressing.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Hermanus teams.
Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Western Cape.
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 Hermanus.
Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Hermanus 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.
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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Hermanus site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Importantly, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
In addition, a respectful, professional environment is the standard in Western Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
About the Team
Beyond that, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Hermanus office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Western Cape operations get busy.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
On top of that, the team mix in Hermanus reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
