Logistics Coordinator

This is a current vacancy. Role: Logistics Coordinator. Location: Roodepoort, Gauteng. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

What This Role Involves

The Logistics Coordinator vacancy forms part of how the Roodepoort branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.

On top of that, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Roodepoort team on trust, and the Logistics Coordinator role will feel that from week one.

Beyond that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Roodepoort also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

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 Roodepoort much easier.

Growing With Us

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

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

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

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Roodepoort have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.

Where You'll Work

Notably, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Roodepoort site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Importantly, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Gauteng. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

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.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng 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 Roodepoort.

Practically speaking, the Roodepoort 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.
