Stock Controller

This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Stock Controller in Roodepoort, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.

Overview

The organisation is investing in its Roodepoort operation, and this Stock Controller position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the retail jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Stock Controller to step into the retail jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

The Environment

Practically speaking, the work environment is fast-paced and customer-facing. Expect long periods on your feet, weekend and public-holiday shifts, and the energy that comes with a busy retail floor.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Roodepoort site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

A Typical Day

Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.

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

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