Candidates should be comfortable working with high transaction volumes, following detailed procedures and maintaining accurate inventory records.
Gold Fields places strong emphasis on safety, employee development and responsible mining practices. The Warehouse Clerk will therefore be expected to consistently follow workplace procedures and contribute to a safe and efficient working environment.
