Supply Chain Analyst

The organisation is recruiting a Supply Chain Analyst for its Ballito operation. The role forms part of a wider logistics jobs portfolio across KwaZulu-Natal.

What This Role Involves

An experienced Supply Chain Analyst is needed to support operations in Ballito. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.

Crucially, the organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Supply Chain Analyst taking on this position.

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 Ballito much easier.

On top of that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Ballito also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Importantly, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for KwaZulu-Natal.

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.

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

Equally, the Ballito 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.

Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.

Where You’ll Work

On top of 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.

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

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

On top of that, 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.

Your Future Here

Career progression for this logistics jobs role in Ballito depends on the hiring organisation’s policies, role requirements and business needs in KwaZulu-Natal.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Ballito have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across KwaZulu-Natal.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
