About the Role

Based permanently at our operations center serving the North West province, this position forms the vital organizational backbone of our fleet maintenance and technical support network. The primary purpose of the Storeman is to fully manage the receiving, systematic storing, precision issuing, and computerised/manual recording of all technical goods, components, and specialized vehicular parts in strict accordance with company procedures.

This permanent position requires a completed Grade 12, Matric, or National Senior Certificate as an absolute, non-negotiable minimum baseline requirement. To ensure immediate operational capability, candidates must bring 1 to 2 years of proven experience in a storeroom, inventory tracking, or industrial warehouse environment, alongside practical knowledge of technical parts identification and systematic storage bin management. Because this role directly fuels our fleet maintenance teams, you must be physically fit and able to handle manual lifting, possess exceptional analytical problem-solving skills, and exhibit an assertive commitment to keeping inventory storage zones perfectly “pinned” (parts placed accurately in their exact designated slots).

The ideal candidate brings a high level of process discipline, excellent supplier relationship skills, and a deadline-driven approach to tracking administrative movement logs. Joining the inventory control division at Unitrans Passenger provides supply chain professionals with exceptional corporate stability, highly competitive market-related compensation packages, and a structured learning environment designed to foster career advancement within international transport and logistics frameworks.

Please note: A completed Grade 12 / Matric certificate and a minimum of 1 to 2 years of formalized storeroom experience are strict, mandatory prerequisites to enter the selection process.

• Build and maintain exceptional ongoing relationships with internal customers, technicians, and project stakeholders to ensure service excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly in the North West province is this position based, and will I need my own transport?

The position is permanently attached to our Mega Bus operations within the North West province. Specific assignment details regarding the primary depot will be finalized during the interview stage. Due to the shift structures, early morning stocktakes, and distribution schedules typical of the transport sector, having reliable personal transport to the depot is highly recommended.

What software platform does Unitrans use for inventory tracking, and do I need prior certification?

Unitrans utilizes enterprise-grade inventory management and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. While prior certification in specific software is not an absolute requirement, having 1 to 2 years of experience operating digital stock systems, scanners, or computerized spreadsheets will significantly accelerate your onboarding phase.

How does a Unitrans Storeman handle a delivery from a supplier that contains damaged or incorrect parts?

The Storeman must refuse to accept the damaged goods, flag the error against the delivery note immediately, initiate a formal warranty/returns claim protocol, notify the procurement department or contract supervisor, and log the incident into the system to maintain accurate supplier performance records.

What format should my supporting educational documents be in when uploading my digital profile?

Your CV, Matric certificate, identity document, and any additional certificates in warehousing, logistics, or transport administration must be scanned cleanly and uploaded as digital PDF or Word files to ensure corporate automated screening systems parse your data correctly.

Will I be expected to work over weekends or outside normal working hours for stocktakes?

Yes. Monthly stocktakes are vital corporate events that require absolute precision. As per standard logistics practices, this requires the inventory team to work outside normal operating hours or over specific weekends to ensure all counts are completed without disrupting active fleet operations.
