Stock Controller

Applications are warmly invited for a Stock Controller role based in Durban. We welcome candidates from every background across KwaZulu-Natal who are ready to grow with us.

About This Position

The Stock Controller vacancy forms part of how the Durban branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the retail jobs side of the business moving forward.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

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 Durban teams, and the new Stock Controller will feel that from the first week.

Working in Durban

Durban continues to grow as an employment hub in KwaZulu-Natal, with minutes from King Shaka International Airport. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.

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

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 Durban.

What Your Day Looks Like

Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.

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

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