Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Inventory Controller in Barberton, and we encourage applicants from across Mpumalanga to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
Equally, this Inventory Controller role sits within the logistics jobs function in Barberton. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Mpumalanga.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Barberton team.
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 Barberton teams, and the new Inventory Controller will feel that from the first week.
Career Growth
In addition, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Barberton have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Barberton have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Mpumalanga.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Your Workplace
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.
In addition, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Mpumalanga.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Barberton site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
