Shipping Clerk

Bring your skills as a Shipping Clerk to Colesberg and join a team that moves fast. This Northern Cape role is one to watch.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Colesberg operation, and this Shipping Clerk position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Northern Cape business.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Colesberg team.

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 Colesberg much easier.

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 Colesberg teams, and the new Shipping Clerk will feel that from the first week.

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.

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

Notably, the Colesberg 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.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
