Fleet Controller

Whether you are a seasoned Fleet Controller or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Vereeniging. The team hires on merit and across communities in Gauteng.

The Role

The Fleet Controller position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Gauteng. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Vereeniging and across the logistics jobs space.

In addition, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Vereeniging operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Vereeniging much easier.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Fleet Controller is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Gauteng is consistently high and consistently fair.

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.

Why This Role

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Vereeniging colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the logistics jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Crucially, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Vereeniging keep progressing.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Vereeniging teams.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Gauteng.

Where You’ll Work

Notably, 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.

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

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.

Importantly, 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.

Based in Vereeniging

On top of that, the role is based in Vereeniging, close to OR Tambo International Airport. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Vereeniging and the broader Gauteng region.

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 Vereeniging.

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

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

Diversity and Inclusion

On top of that, 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.

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

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.

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

About the Team

Crucially, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Vereeniging office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Gauteng operations get busy.

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.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Practically speaking, the team mix in Vereeniging reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
