Work-Force
Posted recently. Role: Procurement Officer. Location: De Aar, Northern Cape. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
The Role
This Procurement Officer role sits within the logistics jobs function in De Aar. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Northern Cape.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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 De Aar 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 De Aar also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Crucially, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
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 De Aar.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.
Your Future Here
Importantly, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in De Aar 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.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in De Aar have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every De Aar team member.
Your Workplace
Notably, 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 Northern Cape. 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 De Aar site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Practically speaking, 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.
About the Team
Equally, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the De Aar office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Northern 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.
Practically speaking, the team mix in De Aar reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
