INVENTORY CLERK – Savanna Beef Operations (Pty) Ltd 42 views

A National Senior Secondary Certificate (NSSC) with passes in Mathematics and English is commonly required. Some employers prefer candidates with a relevant certificate or diploma in supply chain management, finance, or business administration from a Namibian institution like NUST or a TVET college.

Daily tasks include receiving, verifying, and logging incoming livestock feed, equipment, and consumables; conducting physical stock counts and reconciling discrepancies with system records; and preparing basic inventory reports for supervisors. Accuracy, attention to detail, and familiarity with basic digital tools (e.g., Excel or inventory software) are essential in Namibia’s increasingly digitised agri-finance operations.

Namibian workplaces value respect for hierarchy, punctuality, and strong interpersonal communication—especially when coordinating across farm, logistics, and finance teams. Employers expect reliability, integrity in handling stock, and willingness to adapt to rural or semi-rural operational settings common in beef industry roles.

With experience and further training—such as a short course in procurement or bookkeeping through the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA)-accredited providers—an Inventory Clerk may advance to roles like Inventory Supervisor, Procurement Assistant, or Junior Finance Administrator. Internal promotion is often prioritised for staff who demonstrate accuracy, initiative, and knowledge of local regulatory requirements like VAT and customs documentation.

Most formal-sector employers in Namibia offer at least 20 days annual leave, sick leave as per the Labour Act, and participation in the Government Employees Pension Fund (if public sector) or a private pension scheme. Medical aid is increasingly common but not guaranteed—many employers offer group schemes through Namibian providers like NAMFISA-registered funds, often with employee contributions.

Applications are usually submitted via email or in person with a CV, certified ID copy, NSSC certificate, and any relevant references. Namibian employers prioritise honesty in documentation, evidence of prior responsibility (e.g., volunteer or internship experience), and basic numeracy—so highlight any stock-handling, data entry, or finance-related exposure in your application.
