Somerset West, South Africa Futurama Full time

Futurama is a young, vibrant and enthusiastic team of go-getters, we sell everything from night vision to fridges, camping gear and pet products. The company is growing exponentially so there is always room for growth if you show initiative and potential.
We are looking for a Logistics assistant to assist with booking deliveries of parcels with couriers, packing of items into boxes correctly and signing them off when couriers collect, calling customers when there are delays or if you need alternate delivery addresses from them and or handling any other logistics challenges.
Key requirements Logistics Assistant within the Futurama team
- Honesty, integrity, self-discipline, go-getter, logical and hard working when its busy season.
- You must be very well spoken.

You will have to deal with couriers, suppliers and clients regarding all things Logistics.
- Telephone manners. Grammar and spelling - NB
- Use initiative.

This is also very important. We need someone who can think for themselves and will be able to work unsupervised after some time. If they need to pack an item, then they should think for themselves how and what the correct way will be in order to learn and improve. Practice makes perfect.
- Go the extra mile.

If a mistake was made and it’s 16:55 then they must take responsibility and resolve it before they leave. It is their job to handle situations such as that, not think someone else will eventually do it. And if there are overtime hours that need to be put in, they must be willing. We do a stock take twice a year where all the staff will come in on a Sunday.
- Must have own drivers license and OWN transport.
- Hard worker and handle pressure EXTREMELY well.

Pressure and stress come with the job. There is not a moment when a client, supplier, courier or even another employee will not put pressure on you. Anyone that can’t handle that, should not consider the position. That is the most important point regarding working in the logistics department.
- You will need to be able to prioritize tasks and have good time management skills.

A lot of times we will be busy with something urgent, then a client will phone with a problem. The correct procedure is to drop whatever you are doing and put the client first. Sort out their problem and THEN only continue with the previous task.

You always need to keep communication with the customer, so time management plays a big role here.
- You must have a matric certificate with 65% or above in English first language and if you can speak Afrikaans that will be beneficial as well.
Working hours are 8:00 - 17:00 Monday to Friday
