Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Stock Controller in Cradock, and we encourage applicants from across Eastern Cape to consider this opportunity.
Overview
An experienced Stock Controller is needed to support operations in Cradock. The role forms part of how the business keeps its retail jobs portfolio strong in Eastern Cape.
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 Cradock team.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Stock Controller is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Eastern Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.
Meet the Team
The team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Cradock office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Eastern Cape 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.
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.
A Typical Day
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.
Equally, the Cradock 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.
In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
