Distribution Manager

Bring your skills as a Distribution Manager to Tzaneen and join a team that moves fast. This Limpopo role is one to watch.

Overview

The organisation is investing in its Tzaneen operation, and this Distribution Manager position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Limpopo business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Limpopo make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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 Tzaneen teams, and the new Distribution Manager will feel that from the first week.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Tzaneen.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Tzaneen.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Tzaneen.

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.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Limpopo.

Based in Tzaneen

Importantly, the role is based in Tzaneen, close to the Musina border trade post. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Tzaneen and the broader Limpopo region.

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

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Tzaneen, Limpopo.

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 Tzaneen.

Your Workplace

Practically speaking, 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.

Notably, 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.

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

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Limpopo. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

What We Offer
