Fleet Controller

The organisation is recruiting a Fleet Controller for its George operation. The role forms part of a wider logistics jobs portfolio across Western Cape.

Overview

An experienced Fleet Controller is needed to support operations in George. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in Western Cape.

Notably, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its George team on trust, and the Fleet Controller role will feel that from week one.

Practically speaking, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in George also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

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 George 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 Western Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.

Your Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The George group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

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

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

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.

Career Growth

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in George have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every George team member.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in George have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.

Why This Role

Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in George contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the logistics jobs space in Western Cape.

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 Western Cape.

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

Importantly, 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 George keep progressing.

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 George.

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

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 Western Cape.

Your Workplace

On top of that, 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.

Crucially, 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.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Western Cape. 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 George site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A Typical Day

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.

Practically speaking, the George 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 George.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
