Receiving Clerk

Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Receiving Clerk in Kempton Park, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.

What This Role Involves

This Receiving Clerk role sits within the logistics jobs function in Kempton Park. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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 Kempton Park teams, and the new Receiving Clerk will feel that from the first week.

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 Kempton Park much easier.

The company invests in the people who join it. From structured onboarding to ongoing skills development, you will find clear paths to grow your career in logistics jobs from your base in Kempton Park. Many colleagues across Gauteng have moved into senior roles after starting in positions just like this one.

Notably, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Kempton Park keep progressing.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Gauteng.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Kempton Park teams.

Based in Kempton Park

Working in Kempton Park means a place in the heart of the Rosebank business precinct, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Gauteng region, and the Kempton Park office benefits from those long-standing connections.

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 Kempton Park.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Kempton Park, Gauteng.

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.

Notably, the Kempton Park 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.

Importantly, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Kempton Park.

Career Growth

Beyond that, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Kempton Park 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 Kempton Park team member.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kempton Park have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

Equal Opportunity

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

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 Gauteng.
