About the position
The difference between a smooth export season and a costly delay? A great Logistics Coordinator. Is this you? You know the fruit export industry and understand that no two days are ever the same. You're at your best in a fast-paced environment, keeping multiple moving parts under control while staying calm under pressure. Naturally organised and proactive, you're confident engaging with stakeholders, solving problems before they escalate and ensuring every shipment moves according to plan. If you're looking for a role where your expertise genuinely makes a difference, this could be it. What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it) You'll coordinate the export process from order through to shipment, ensuring fruit reaches international markets efficiently and on time. From vessel bookings, export documentation and stock coordination to working closely with cold stores, transporters, freight forwarders and the commercial team, you'll keep the export supply chain running smoothly. You'll enjoy the variety this role offers, the autonomy to take ownership and the satisfaction of knowing your work has a direct impact on the success of every export programme. Where you'll be doing it This permanent, in-office opportunity is based at the Stellenbosch head office of a well-established fruit export business with a strong reputation in international markets. You'll join a collaborative team that values accountability, direct communication and getting the job done. It's a business where people are trusted to take ownership, supported to grow and recognised for delivering results. What you'll need A minimum of five years' experience in fruit export logistics is essential, together with a sound understanding of export documentation, shipping procedures, freight forwarding and supply chain coordination. Experience using QX or a similar export system will be highly advantageous. Just as important is your ability to think on your feet, communicate confidently and build a stable, long-term career within a high-performing team. What you'll get An opportunity to join a respected exporter where logistics is central to the business's success. You'll work alongside experienced professionals, gain exposure to the full export supply chain and become part of a team that prides itself on delivering exceptional service to customers around the world.
