Logistics Coordinator

A vacancy has been confirmed for a Logistics Coordinator based in Harrismith, Free State. The successful candidate will join an established team within the logistics jobs function.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Harrismith operation, and this Logistics Coordinator position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Free State business.

Beyond that, 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 Logistics Coordinator taking on this position.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Harrismith much easier.

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 Harrismith teams, and the new Logistics Coordinator will feel that from the first week.

Meet the Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Harrismith group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

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.

Practically speaking, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Harrismith will be explained during the hiring process.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

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.

In addition, the Harrismith 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 Harrismith.

In addition, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.

Growing With Us

This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Harrismith have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

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 Harrismith team member.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Harrismith have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.
