Work-Force
An opportunity has arisen for a Supply Chain Analyst in Odendaalsrus. Suitably qualified candidates from across Free State are invited to apply.
Overview
This Supply Chain Analyst role sits within the logistics jobs function in Odendaalsrus. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Free State.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Odendaalsrus 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 logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Odendaalsrus much easier.
Your Team
Equally, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Odendaalsrus office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Free State operations get busy.
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.
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.
Practically speaking, the Odendaalsrus 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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
