Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Warehouse Assistant in Phuthaditjhaba, and we encourage applicants from across Free State to consider this opportunity.
The Role
The Warehouse Assistant vacancy forms part of how the Phuthaditjhaba branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.
Practically speaking, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Phuthaditjhaba team on trust, and the Warehouse Assistant role will feel that from week one.
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 Phuthaditjhaba teams, and the new Warehouse Assistant will feel that from the first week.
On top of that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Phuthaditjhaba also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
What We Offer
On top of 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 Phuthaditjhaba. Many colleagues across Free State have moved into senior roles after starting in positions just like this one.
In addition, 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 Phuthaditjhaba 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 Free State.
Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Phuthaditjhaba teams.
About the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Phuthaditjhaba group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
In addition, the team mix in Phuthaditjhaba 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.
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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Phuthaditjhaba 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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Phuthaditjhaba.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.
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.
