Work-Force
Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Supply Chain Analyst in Port Shepstone, and we encourage applicants from across KwaZulu-Natal to consider this opportunity.
Overview
An experienced Supply Chain Analyst is needed to support operations in Port Shepstone. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in KwaZulu-Natal.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Port Shepstone operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Port Shepstone teams, and the new Supply Chain Analyst will feel that from the first week.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Port Shepstone much easier.
What Your Day Looks Like
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Port Shepstone.
Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
Beyond that, the Port Shepstone 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.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Port Shepstone 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 KwaZulu-Natal.
In addition, 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 Port Shepstone keep progressing.
The Environment
On top of that, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.
Practically speaking, 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.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Port Shepstone site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in KwaZulu-Natal. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Growing With Us
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Port Shepstone 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 Port Shepstone have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across KwaZulu-Natal.
