Work-Force
Whether you are a seasoned Distribution Manager or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Soweto. The team hires on merit and across communities in Gauteng.
About This Position
This Distribution Manager role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Soweto. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across Gauteng.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Soweto operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
In addition, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Soweto also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Your Workplace
In addition, 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.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Soweto site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Equal Opportunity
Crucially, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
