Work-Force
A Procurement Officer position is being filled in Secunda. Suitable candidates from across Mpumalanga are invited to submit their applications for review.
What This Role Involves
This Procurement Officer role sits within the logistics jobs function in Secunda. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Mpumalanga.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Mpumalanga make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Procurement Officer 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.
A Typical Day
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.
The rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.
Importantly, the Secunda 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.
