Overview
An experienced Internship Supply Chain is needed to support operations in East London. The role forms part of how the business keeps its in-service training portfolio strong in Eastern Cape.
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 Internship Supply Chain taking on this position.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the in-service training team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in East London much easier.
Your Team
Importantly, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the East London office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Eastern Cape operations get busy.
Beyond that, the team mix in East London 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.

Beyond that, 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 East London
Beyond that, the role is based in East London, along the Sunshine Coast tourism belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across East London and the broader Eastern Cape region.
Many candidates already living within reach of East London cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Eastern Cape economy.
