Supply Chain Analyst

Bring your skills as a Supply Chain Analyst to Harrismith and join a team that moves fast. This Free State role is one to watch.

The Role

This Supply Chain Analyst role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Harrismith. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across Free State.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Free State make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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

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 Harrismith much easier.

Meet the Team

The team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Harrismith 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.

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

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.

Your Future Here

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

In addition, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Harrismith have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Free State.

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

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