Logistics Coordinator

Bring your skills as a Logistics Coordinator to Secunda and join a team that moves fast. This Mpumalanga role is one to watch.

What This Role Involves

The Logistics Coordinator vacancy forms part of how the Secunda branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.

Practically speaking, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Secunda operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

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 Mpumalanga is consistently high and consistently fair.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Secunda much easier.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Logistics Coordinator to step into the logistics jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

A Typical Day

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.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga 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 Secunda.

Importantly, the Secunda 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.

Meet the Team

On top of that, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Secunda office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Mpumalanga operations get busy.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Importantly, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Secunda will be explained during the hiring process.

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.

The Environment

Practically speaking, 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.

On top of that, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Mpumalanga.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Secunda site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

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.

Working in Secunda

Practically speaking, the role is based in Secunda, near the Kruger Lowveld tourism belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Secunda and the broader Mpumalanga region.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Secunda.

Many candidates already living within reach of Secunda cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Mpumalanga economy.
