Warehouse Supervisor (Brackenfell) at Montego Pet Nutrition
Montego Pet Nutrition
September 27, 2026
Full-time
On-site
Description
If you believe that a well-run warehouse is a thing of quiet precision, that FEFO is a way of life rather than a suggestion, and that a stock count should balance to the batch, you may have just found your next move.
The Role (or the engine room of Montego's distribution)
Reporting to the Warehouse & Logistics Manager, you'll help keep the warehouse humming — supervising day-to-day operations, safeguarding our stock, and making sure every load leaves accurate, on time, and up to standard.
You'll lead a team, uphold our health, safety and food-safety standards, and bring a genuine appetite for continuous improvement to everything from receiving to returns.
What you'll be doing (besides being brilliant)
Warehouse Operations & Stock Management
Supervise warehousing processes in line with best practice and Standard Operating Procedures
Monitor operational KPIs and feed concerns back to the Warehouse & Logistics Manager
Keep OHS, hygiene, housekeeping, food-safety and merchandising standards firmly in place — and escalate any slips
Keep an eye on the condition of the building — floors, walls, pipes — and flag maintenance needs
Tighten receiving controls: spot-check deliveries, record shortages and overs, and investigate discrepancies
Enforce best-practice stock management — pick-and-scan together, FEFO rotation, no mixing of batch numbers, frequent counts
Manage out-of-stocks and overstocking, assist with cycle and full stock takes, and help minimise stock variances
Administer warehouse damages per SOP, and drive a culture of continuous improvement with the team
Distribution Administration
Provide input during planning reviews for on-time, cost-efficient delivery to customers
Ensure timely picking, staging and loading of stock according to Route Planning priorities
Investigate shortages, assign teams to trips, and rotate staff fairly
Handle distribution paperwork — work and loading sheets, delivery notes, invoices, proof of delivery
Check loads against the loading sheet and hand the driver the right documentation
Assist with fuel management and weighbridge administration where relevant
Debrief every load on return per SOP, and manage returns through the correct procedures
Fleet & Equipment Administration
Monitor the condition of material-handling equipment and refer defects to the Warehouse & Logistics Manager
Carry out daily and weekly vehicle inspections and complete the checklists with the driver
Assist with arranging fleet and equipment maintenance
People Management
Manage the attendance and performance of your direct reports, guiding, supporting and — when needed — taking appropriate disciplinary action
Grow your team through on-the-job training and honest feedback
Take part in selecting and appointing new team members
Run regular meetings, plan and approve leave, capture timecards and manage overtime
Live and demonstrate the Montego culture, day in and day out
Housekeeping, Health & Safety and Administration
Keep all relevant administration up to date and report on warehouse and distribution performance against KPIs
Uphold OHS and Food Safety (FSSC 22000) standards, and keep personal hygiene standards high
Identify hazards and put corrective and preventative measures in place
Spot improvement opportunities and work with the Warehouse & Logistics Manager to make them happen
Requirements
What you'll need to bring
Grade 12 (NQF Level 4); a Diploma in Supply Chain or Logistics (NQF Level 6) is advantageous
3 - 5 years' experience in warehousing and distribution, stock movement and stock control — ideally in FMCG
2 years' people-management experience
A valid Code B driver's licence
A forklift licence and/or a Code C1 (10) or EC (14) licence — advantageous
Skills that make things happen
Supervision and team leadership
Planning and organising
Problem-solving
Clear communication
Proficiency in MS Office
And the behaviours that make it stick
Attention to detail and strong follow-through
Reliable, and a genuine team player
Calm and capable under pressure
Grounded in SOPs, stock discipline and food-safety standards
Comfortable on an ERP system and across inbound and outbound procedures
The fine print
This is a hands-on operational role. The incumbent is required to work extended hours and overtime, and to take on additional tasks in line with operational requirements — sometimes at short notice and outside normal working hours.
