• Our client manufactures and exports premium Bedouin stretch tents and luxury glamping structures from their Cape Town factory to clients across Africa, Europe, and beyond. Their products are custom-built to order, which means every job depends on the right materials being available, correctly counted, and ready when production needs them.
• They need one person who owns this completely. An agile thinker who sees a problem forming and deals with it before it lands on someone else's desk. Being action-oriented and results-driven are two of your natural traits, with a proven track record in support.

What You Will Be Doing

• Receiving and verifying all incoming stock from suppliers against purchase orders
• Issuing materials to the factory floor against job cards only, nothing leaves the stockroom without one

• Picking and verifying all outgoing orders, every component checked, every time, before dispatch

• Receiving and assessing returned rental stock, recording condition, shortages, and damage
• Producing a clear weekly stock status report for the Head of Operations

Who You Are

• You have a Matric and a diploma/certification in supply chain/warehouse management
• Highly organised and detail-oriented, stock variances, mislabelled shelves, and system gaps bother you personally
• A quick thinker and problem solver, you act early, flag issues clearly, and don't wait to be chased
• 5+ years in a stock control, stores, or warehousing role, ideally in a manufacturing or FMCG environment
• Valid driver's licence, non-negotiable. You may need to do collections and drop offs.
• Confident with inventory management software (Unleashed, SAGE, Syspro, or similar)
• A clear communicator, written and verbal, with the Head of Operations, administrative team, and the production floor
• Lean manufacturing awareness, 5S, or MRP experience is a strong advantage
• You are a team player and natural collaborator, with great interpersonal savvy

What Good Looks Like in This Role

• Production never stops because a material ran out and nobody knew
• Every order leaves with all components, verified, not assumed
• Unleashed reflects physical reality at all times, not last week's count
• Low stock is flagged before it becomes a crisis
• The stockroom is clean, labelled, and navigable by anyone on the team

Remuneration

• Cost to company will be between R18 000 - R30 000 depending on experience and qualifications.
