Dispatch Clerk

A Dispatch Clerk is needed in Mmabatho. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the North West operation.

About This Position

This Dispatch Clerk role sits within the logistics jobs function in Mmabatho. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across North West.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in North West 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 Mmabatho 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 Mmabatho teams, and the new Dispatch Clerk will feel that from the first week.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Mmabatho.

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.

Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when North West operations throw up the unexpected.

Equally, the Mmabatho 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.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Mmabatho.
