Work-Force
Whether you are a seasoned Shipping Clerk or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Kroonstad. The team hires on merit and across communities in Free State.
About the Opportunity
The Shipping Clerk vacancy forms part of how the Kroonstad branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.
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 Shipping Clerk 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 Kroonstad 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 Kroonstad teams, and the new Shipping Clerk will feel that from the first week.
Your Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Kroonstad 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.
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.
On top of that, the team mix in Kroonstad reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kroonstad.
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 Free State.
Your Workplace
Notably, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kroonstad site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Importantly, 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 Free State. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
