Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Inventory Controller in Komatipoort, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.
The Role
This Inventory Controller role sits within the logistics jobs function in Komatipoort. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Mpumalanga.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
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 Komatipoort teams, and the new Inventory Controller will feel that from the first week.
Your Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Komatipoort group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
The team structure and working relationships for this role in Komatipoort will be explained during the hiring process.
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.
Your Future Here
Notably, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Komatipoort 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 Komatipoort 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.
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.
Notably, the Komatipoort 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 Komatipoort.
