Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Fleet Controller to Pietermaritzburg and join a team that moves fast. This KwaZulu-Natal role is one to watch.
Overview
An experienced Fleet Controller is needed to support operations in Pietermaritzburg. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in KwaZulu-Natal make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
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.
