Work-Force
Applications are warmly invited for a Procurement Officer role based in Aliwal North. We welcome candidates from every background across Eastern Cape who are ready to grow with us.
What This Role Involves
The organisation is investing in its Aliwal North operation, and this Procurement Officer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Eastern Cape business.
Importantly, 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 Procurement Officer 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 Aliwal North much easier.
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.
On top of that, the Aliwal North 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 Aliwal North.
Your Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Aliwal North group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Beyond that, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Aliwal North will be explained during the hiring process.
