Warehouse Assistant

Bring your skills as a Warehouse Assistant to Komatipoort and join a team that moves fast. This Mpumalanga role is one to watch.

About the Opportunity

The Warehouse Assistant position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across Mpumalanga. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Komatipoort and across the logistics jobs space.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

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 Komatipoort much easier.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Komatipoort.

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 Komatipoort teams, and the new Warehouse Assistant will feel that from the first week.

A Typical Day

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 Komatipoort 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 Mpumalanga 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 Komatipoort.
