Fleet Controller

Applications are warmly invited for a Fleet Controller role based in Postmasburg. We welcome candidates from every background across Northern Cape who are ready to grow with us.

Overview

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

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.

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 Postmasburg.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Fleet Controller to step into the logistics jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

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 Postmasburg much easier.

Working in Postmasburg

Practically speaking, the role is based in Postmasburg, near the Orange River agricultural zone. Public transport links and parking are within easy reach, making the daily commute manageable for candidates living across Postmasburg and the broader Northern Cape region.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Postmasburg.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Postmasburg, Northern 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.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Crucially, the Postmasburg 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 Postmasburg.
