Position Details
Job Title: Receiving Clerk
Reference Number: PGB260507-2
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Boksburg, Gauteng, South Africa
Industry: Manufacturing and Warehousing
Department: Finance and Inventory Operations
Minimum Qualification: Grade 12 / National Certificate
Closing Date: 14 May 2026
About the Role
The Receiving Clerk position focuses on managing incoming stock and ensuring that all deliveries match company records and purchase documentation. The role requires a strong understanding of inventory systems, warehouse procedures, and stock control principles.
The successful candidate will work closely with suppliers, procurement teams, stores personnel, and warehouse staff to ensure all goods received are accurate in quantity and quality. Attention to detail is critical because the role involves handling documentation, checking deliveries, updating inventory systems, and resolving stock discrepancies.
This position also requires someone who understands the importance of maintaining safety standards and following correct storage and handling procedures in a manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities
Goods Receiving and Verification
One of the main responsibilities of the Receiving Clerk is to manage the receiving process for incoming goods and materials. This includes checking deliveries against purchase orders, invoices, and supplier delivery notes to ensure everything is correct and complete.
The successful candidate will also inspect stock for damages, shortages, or quality concerns before the goods are accepted into the warehouse or storage facility. Accurate completion of Goods Received Notes (GRNs) and proper documentation will form part of the daily responsibilities.
The Receiving Clerk must ensure that all deliveries are processed quickly and efficiently to avoid delays in production or operations.
Inventory and Stock Control
Another important aspect of the role involves supporting inventory management activities. The selected candidate will update stock records on inventory or ERP systems used within the business environment.
Experience working with systems such as SAP, Syspro, or Oracle will be highly beneficial, as these platforms are commonly used in manufacturing and warehouse operations.
The role also includes assisting with stock takes, cycle counts, and inventory audits to ensure that physical stock matches system records. Proper labelling, storage organisation, and batch tracking procedures must also be followed at all times.
Candidates with strong numerical skills and a solid understanding of stock control processes will have an advantage in this role.
Administrative Duties
The Receiving Clerk will also be responsible for maintaining organised records and accurate filing systems related to receiving operations. This includes capturing information correctly, updating reports, and ensuring documentation is submitted on time.
Strong administrative abilities are important because the role requires regular communication with suppliers, procurement departments, and internal teams to resolve stock discrepancies or documentation issues.
The company is looking for someone who can work independently, stay organised under pressure, and maintain a high level of accuracy in all administrative tasks.
Health and Safety Compliance
Maintaining workplace safety is another important part of the role. The successful candidate will be expected to follow company safety procedures, warehouse regulations, and operational standards at all times.
This includes proper handling of stock and materials, following FIFO and FEFO inventory principles, and ensuring goods are stored according to company procedures.
The Receiving Clerk may also work with regulated or hazardous materials depending on operational requirements, making compliance with safety standards essential.
Minimum Requirements
To qualify for this position, applicants should meet the following requirements:
- Grade 12 (Matric) or National Certificate
- Between 3 and 5 years of experience in receiving, warehouse operations, stores, or manufacturing environments
- Good understanding of stock receiving and inventory procedures
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
- Good numerical and record-keeping skills
- Ability to work with inventory or ERP systems
- Honest, reliable, and trustworthy character
- Good communication and organisational skills
- Ability to work effectively within a team environment
Ideal Candidate Profile
PG Bison is looking for a candidate who is dependable, disciplined, and capable of maintaining accurate stock processes in a fast-paced environment. The ideal applicant should be able to manage multiple responsibilities while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
Candidates who have previous experience in manufacturing warehouses or industrial receiving operations may have an advantage because they are already familiar with stock control procedures and warehouse systems.
The company values individuals who demonstrate professionalism, accountability, and a commitment to operational excellence.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This role offers the opportunity to join one of South Africa’s recognised manufacturing organisations while building long-term experience in warehouse and inventory operations. Candidates who are interested in logistics, inventory management, or manufacturing support roles can benefit from the practical experience and career exposure offered in this position.
The permanent nature of the role also provides stability and the opportunity for growth within a structured working environment.
Employees working in receiving and inventory operations gain valuable experience in supply chain processes, stock management systems, and operational coordination, all of which are highly valuable skills within the manufacturing and logistics industries.
Application Deadline
Interested candidates should ensure that their applications are submitted before the closing date of 14 May 2026.
Applicants are encouraged to prepare an updated CV that highlights their receiving, warehouse, inventory, or manufacturing experience, as well as any experience working with ERP or stock management systems.
