Work-Force
Posted recently. Role: Fleet Controller. Location: Hartbeespoort, North West. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
About the Opportunity
An experienced Fleet Controller is needed to support operations in Hartbeespoort. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in North West.
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 Hartbeespoort team.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Fleet Controller to step into the logistics jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
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 Hartbeespoort.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Hartbeespoort group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
The team mix in Hartbeespoort reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

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