Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. Role: Procurement Officer. Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
Overview
The Procurement Officer position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Gauteng. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Johannesburg and across the logistics jobs space.
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 Johannesburg team.
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 Johannesburg much easier.
About Johannesburg
Notably, the role is based in Johannesburg, in the heart of the Rosebank business precinct. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Johannesburg and the broader Gauteng region.
Many candidates already living within reach of Johannesburg cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Gauteng economy.
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 Johannesburg.
Equal Opportunity
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Johannesburg.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Gauteng.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Johannesburg.
Where You’ll Work

Notably, 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.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
