Logistics Coordinator

Applications are warmly invited for a Logistics Coordinator role based in Ballito. We welcome candidates from every background across KwaZulu-Natal who are ready to grow with us.

The Role

This Logistics Coordinator role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Ballito. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across KwaZulu-Natal.

The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Ballito operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Logistics Coordinator is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in KwaZulu-Natal is consistently high and consistently fair.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Logistics Coordinator 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.

Practically speaking, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Ballito also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Your Workplace

On top of that, 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.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in KwaZulu-Natal. 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 Ballito site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Practically speaking, 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.

Growing With Us

Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The logistics jobs space in Ballito offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in KwaZulu-Natal.

Practically speaking, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Ballito have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across KwaZulu-Natal.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Ballito team member.

Day in the Life

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.

Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.

Crucially, the Ballito 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 Ballito.

Equal Opportunity

In addition, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Ballito.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across KwaZulu-Natal.

About Ballito

Beyond that, the role is based in Ballito, close to the Durban Harbour logistics hub. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Ballito and the broader KwaZulu-Natal region.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Ballito.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal.

Many candidates already living within reach of Ballito cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local KwaZulu-Natal economy.
