Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Shipping Clerk in Odendaalsrus, and we encourage applicants from across Free State to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
This Shipping Clerk role sits within the logistics jobs function in Odendaalsrus. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Free State.
The successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Odendaalsrus team on trust, and the Shipping Clerk role will feel that from week one.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Shipping Clerk is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Free State is consistently high and consistently fair.
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.
Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State 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 Odendaalsrus.
Equal Opportunity
Beyond that, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Odendaalsrus.
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.
