About This Position
The organisation is investing in its Bethlehem operation, and this Shipping Clerk position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Free State business.
On top of that, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Bethlehem operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Shipping Clerk 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.

Day in the Life
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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Notably, the Bethlehem 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 Bethlehem.

Notably, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across Free State, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Bethlehem.
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.
Practically speaking, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for Free State.
