Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Transport Planner in Worcester, and we encourage applicants from across Western Cape to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
Equally, this Transport Planner role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Worcester. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across Western Cape.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Worcester operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Transport Planner is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Western Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.
Equal Opportunity
Equally, 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.
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.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Worcester.
Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Working in Worcester
Importantly, the role is based in Worcester, close to the Stellenbosch agricultural belt. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Worcester and the broader Western Cape region.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Worcester, Western Cape.
