About the position

A well-established aviation environment based in Johannesburg, Benoni is seeking a detail-driven Store Officer to take ownership of inventory control, receiving, issuing, and compliance within a regulated, high-pressure setting. This role suits someone who thrives on order, accuracy, and accountability, because in aviation, “almost right” is still wrong.

Please kindly forward your CV to [Email Address Removed]. Please note that only suitable applicants will be considered.
