Build Your Career in South Africa’s Growing Renewable Energy Industry

A well-established solar energy equipment distributor is urgently looking for a highly organised and detail-oriented Stock Controller / Administrator to join its busy Centurion branch.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with inventory, administration, logistics, and data management. You will become the operational backbone of the branch by ensuring stock records remain accurate, dispatch documentation is completed correctly, and administrative processes run efficiently.

If you are an experienced administrator with excellent Microsoft Excel skills and a passion for organisation and accuracy, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the Role

The successful candidate will manage a custom-built inventory management system that operates within Microsoft Excel. You will be responsible for maintaining accurate stock records, monitoring inventory movements, supporting dispatch operations, processing branch documentation, and ensuring smooth day-to-day administrative functions.

Although the role works closely with warehouse operations, heavy lifting is performed by dedicated warehouse staff, allowing you to focus mainly on inventory administration and operational coordination.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and update the company’s custom-built Excel inventory management system.
  • Capture daily stock movements with a high level of accuracy.
  • Monitor inventory levels and investigate stock variances.
  • Ensure stock records match head office accounting systems.

  • Coordinate stock movement between departments.
  • Process supplier invoices and delivery notes.
  • Maintain organised electronic and physical filing systems.
  • Generate inventory and operational reports.
  • Resolve inventory discrepancies and system-related issues.
  • Communicate with warehouse staff and management regarding stock availability.
  • Assist with forklift operations when required (if licensed).
  • Support the branch with general administrative duties.
  • Ensure compliance with company procedures and inventory control standards.

Minimum Requirements

Applicants should have:

  • Previous experience in stock control, inventory administration, warehouse administration or data capturing.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including working with large spreadsheets and formulas.
  • Excellent numerical accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Strong organisational and time management skills.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to prioritise multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
  • Problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Computer literacy and confidence using Microsoft Office applications.

Advantageous Experience

Preference may be given to candidates with experience in:

  • Renewable energy or solar equipment distribution
  • Engineering supply companies
  • Electrical wholesalers
  • Warehouse and logistics operations
  • Inventory management systems
  • Forklift operation (valid licence)

Skills and Competencies

Successful applicants should demonstrate:

  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Strong analytical thinking
  • Inventory management knowledge
  • Administrative efficiency
  • High level of integrity
  • Teamwork and collaboration
  • Planning and organisational skills
  • Ability to meet deadlines
  • Professional communication skills
  • Initiative and accountability

Salary and Benefits

Successful candidates will receive:

  • Monthly salary between R20,000 and R25,000
  • Permanent full-time employment
  • Stable Monday to Friday working schedule
  • Opportunity to work within the rapidly growing renewable energy sector
  • Professional and supportive working environment
  • Exposure to modern inventory management systems
  • Career growth and development opportunities

Why Consider This Opportunity?

The renewable energy industry is one of South Africa’s fastest-growing sectors. This position offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in inventory control, logistics coordination, and branch administration while working with one of the country’s leading solar equipment distributors.
