Work-Force
Bring your skills as a Fleet Controller to Empangeni and join a team that moves fast. This KwaZulu-Natal role is one to watch.
The Role
The Fleet Controller vacancy forms part of how the Empangeni branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.
In addition, the organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Fleet Controller taking on this position.
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.
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 Empangeni teams, and the new Fleet Controller will feel that from the first week.
