Inventory Controller

A vacancy has been confirmed for a Inventory Controller based in Mokopane, Limpopo. The successful candidate will join an established team within the logistics jobs function.

The Role

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

Crucially, 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 Inventory Controller taking on this position.

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 Mokopane teams, and the new Inventory Controller will feel that from the first week.

What Your Day Looks Like

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.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Mokopane.

In addition, the Mokopane 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.

The Environment

Crucially, 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, a respectful, professional environment is the standard in Limpopo. 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 Mokopane site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
