Work-Force
A vacancy has been confirmed for a Supply Chain Analyst based in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal. The successful candidate will join an established team within the logistics jobs function.
The Role
This Supply Chain Analyst role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Pinetown. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across KwaZulu-Natal.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in KwaZulu-Natal make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Pinetown also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
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 Pinetown teams, and the new Supply Chain Analyst will feel that from the first week.
About the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Pinetown group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Notably, the team mix in Pinetown reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
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.
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.
Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Pinetown.
Equally, the Pinetown 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.
