Work with the Hello team

What work feels like at Hello Logistics

Most weeks, our team moves freight and information between buyers, storerooms and field sites from Gqeberha to Pretoria. You’ll see actual parcels swapped in industrial parks, walk Thaba Tshwane’s kerbs, and hand over goods under Gauteng’s midweek clouds. The work suits those who find satisfaction in order slips matched to physical cartons, not just names on a file. Load-shedding, coastal humidity and last-minute calls are real and unscheduled, so keeping calm under practical pressure matters more than ticking abstract boxes.

A typical stretch could mean updating a buyer brief after a tyre’s gone flat near Boksburg or confirming a collection in a Cape Town studio before Highveld dust finds its way into your equipment. Whether you’re handling catalogue care, prepping runs or sending field notes, you’ll help teams who genuinely need every item to land on the correct floor, on time.

Roles that open up here

Roles at Hello Logistics suit those who care about moving goods and information accurately. We add team members who can spot a gap in a process and fix it. You may see roles posted for dispatch planners, field route operators or local freight handlers.

Much work sits at Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd, 2 Makro Place, Sunnyrock, with weeks in the field around Pretoria and Gqeberha. Some shifts may focus on catalogue updates, while others require heading out to check off-site receiving or handle municipal paperwork. There’s always a practical need, sometimes a new delivery lane to plan out, sometimes a client’s request for a fresh round of field notes. We hire for floor experience and clear communication, not brochure polish.

• Dispatch and route planning for SME runs
• Field collections and drop-offs in major metros
• Buyer brief updates and catalogue work
• Ops and admin roles grounded in real logistics
• On-site checks and municipal document runs

How to apply for a role

If this work sounds right, send a message through our contact form with the subject line Careers. Include a short CV and name the role or type of help you’re after. Attach one example of work you’re proud of, a checklist, a snap from a challenging field day, or a short account of a tight turnaround you’ve run. Don’t use adjectives nobody can back up.

Tell us which city you can reliably operate from, so we know if you’ll be closer to Sunnyrock, Cape Town, or Durban. We check applications during office hours from Gauteng, and we’ll reply if your brief matches what’s needed for the next phase.

• Use our contact form as the contact address
• Subject line should include the path or product
• List your city and when you are available
• Attach one photo or document that shows your constraints in action
• Separate urgent or rush work from week-to-week plans

What to expect from the team culture

Here, you’ll work beside operators and planners who prefer checklist logic to slogans. You’ll seldom see a week run exactly as planned, but you’ll know which parcels left, which stayed, and why. Mail threads are short and to the point. We ask for clear thinking and expect practical problem-solving, whether it is a remote power handover or a hygiene zone delivery.

There’s no room for inflated claims, invented logos, or empty buzzwords. Our notes, field photos, and buyer updates show the real conditions you’ll see on a site or in a bay. If you prefer honest feedback and defendable checklists, you’ll fit in quickly. If you’d rather avoid floor context or shrink from Highveld dirt, this isn’t your spot.

Checklist before you brief us

Before writing your application, double-check a few things. City and timing must be named (no point offering field cover in Bloemfontein if you’re based in Polokwane). Attach at least one photo or document showing work you’ve done under constraint, whether from a collection run in Durban or a municipal paperwork handover. State clearly if your timing differs from the usual, if you need unusual site access, or if export rules affect you. Clear constraints make it easier for us to see where you fit, even if your background is non-traditional.

• Name the city you’ll operate from
• Clarify your timing and role interest
• Attach one example of floor or field work
• Flag unusual access, export or hygiene needs
• Use specific, defendable statements, avoid puffery

More on our practical approach

We’re building a logistics team for South African SMEs who move real freight each week, not just parcels on a spreadsheet. Learn more about what we deliver, see how our lanes work, or check our craft and updates for everyday stories from the floor. If your experience matches, send a short, precise application. We read each one like a dispatch order, looking for fit, readiness, and a realist’s respect for the country’s working rhythms.
