Stock Controller

The organisation is recruiting a Stock Controller for its Hazyview operation. The role forms part of a wider retail jobs portfolio across Mpumalanga.

The Role

This Stock Controller role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Hazyview. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the retail jobs pipeline across Mpumalanga.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Hazyview team.

Equally, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Hazyview also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

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 Hazyview much easier.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the retail jobs group in Hazyview.

Your Future Here

Beyond that, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the retail jobs team in Hazyview have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Hazyview have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Mpumalanga.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Hazyview team member.

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.

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

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

In addition, the Hazyview 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.

Your Team

You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the retail jobs side of the business inside out. The Hazyview 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.

Beyond that, the team mix in Hazyview reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Equal Opportunity

Crucially, 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 Hazyview.

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

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.

Why This Role

Crucially, you will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Hazyview colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the retail jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Importantly, 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 Hazyview keep progressing.

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

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Mpumalanga.

Your Workplace

Crucially, 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 Mpumalanga. 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 Hazyview site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Beyond that, 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.

Working in Hazyview

Working in Hazyview means a place along the N4 Maputo Development Corridor, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Mpumalanga region, and the Hazyview office benefits from those long-standing connections.

Many candidates already living within reach of Hazyview cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Mpumalanga economy.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Hazyview, Mpumalanga.
