About This Position
This Warehouse Assistant role sits within the logistics jobs function in Hermanus. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Western Cape.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Hermanus operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the 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 Warehouse Assistant will feel that from the first week.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Warehouse Assistant is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Western Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.

Beyond that, 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.
Notably, 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.
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.

Beyond that, 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.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Western Cape, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.
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.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Hermanus.
