Stock Controller

Whether you are a seasoned Stock Controller or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Germiston. The team hires on merit and across communities in Gauteng.

About This Position

The organisation is investing in its Germiston 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.

Crucially, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Germiston operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the retail jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Germiston much easier.

Equal Opportunity

Equally, 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.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Gauteng.

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.

What Your Day Looks Like

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.

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

Beyond that, the Germiston 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.

Why This Role

Few roles let you see the impact of your work as quickly as this one. Every shift, project and decision in Germiston contributes to real outcomes for clients and colleagues across the retail jobs space in Gauteng.

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

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 Germiston keep progressing.

Your Role

• Assist with receiving deliveries and verifying goods against invoices
• Up-sell and cross-sell products in line with branch sales targets
• Keep the store, change rooms and stockroom clean and organised
• Greet customers and provide a friendly, helpful in-store experience
• Support stock counts and assist with cycle-count investigations

What You’ll Need

• Experience with stock counting and basic inventory principles
• Minimum of 1-2 years’ experience in a customer-facing retail role
• A clear criminal record verified through approved screening providers
• Strong verbal communication skills in English; second language an advantage
• Visual merchandising flair or formal training is an advantage
• Ability to work as part of a team in a fast-paced retail environment
• Customer-first mindset with a friendly, approachable manner

Potential is considered alongside experience, so candidates who tick most of these boxes should still be considered.
