Inventory Controller

Applications are warmly invited for a Inventory Controller role based in Bela-Bela. We welcome candidates from every background across Limpopo who are ready to grow with us.

About This Position

This Inventory Controller role sits within the logistics jobs function in Bela-Bela. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Limpopo.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Limpopo make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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 Bela-Bela much easier.

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.

The Bela-Bela 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 Bela-Bela.

Your Team

In addition, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Bela-Bela office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Limpopo operations get busy.

Importantly, the team mix in Bela-Bela reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Growing With Us

Beyond that, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Bela-Bela 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.

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