Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Transport Planner in Prieska, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.
The Role
The Transport Planner vacancy forms part of how the Prieska branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.
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 Prieska 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 Prieska much easier.
Career Growth
Career progression here is real, not a slogan. The logistics jobs space in Prieska offers a clear runway from delivery into team leadership and beyond, and managers sit down with each team member regularly to map out the next step in Northern Cape.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Prieska have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Prieska team member.
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.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Prieska.
Why This Role
Beyond that, the company invests in the people who join it. From structured onboarding to ongoing skills development, you will find clear paths to grow your career in logistics jobs from your base in Prieska. Many colleagues across Northern Cape have moved into senior roles after starting in positions just like this one.
Beyond that, 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 Prieska keep progressing.
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 Northern Cape.
