About the role

What will you be doing?

As a Junior Service Supply Chain Consultant, you will work in teams to tackle our clients’ service logistics challenges. This may include increasing stock availability with minimal investment, managing unreliable suppliers, or even redesigning the entire supply chain.

Within the team, you will be (co-)responsible for clearly defining the client’s challenges and developing practical solutions. You will do this primarily through data analysis, alongside assessing the organisation and its processes. Together, you will develop business cases and prototypes.

This role is designed for someone who wants to grow their career at Gordian. As you develop, you will take on commercial responsibilities, including:

  • Engaging with clients and building long-term relationships
  • Representing Gordian at webinars, conferences, and industry events
  • Contributing to business development efforts
  • Identifying solutions and contributing to proposals
  • Supporting sales opportunities within projects

You will also play a part in shaping Gordian’s continued growth across Africa.

 

Where will you be working?

Gordian Logistic Experts South Africa is a specialist supply chain consultancy with Dutch roots and a
proud footprint in Cape Town.

Although we form part of an international group, this role is firmly rooted in Cape Town.

We work with organisations running heavy, capital-intensive assets in the mining, manufacturing, energy and transport sectors to help them optimise MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Operations) spares to reduce downtime and improve performance. Our approach is holistic, covering:

  • Inventory & spares optimisation
  • Master data and categorisation
  • Warehouse & stores management
  • Procurement strategy
  • Logistics & asset management systems

Since launching in SA in 2015, we’ve grown steadily—and now we’re looking for the next bright mind to join our consulting team.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for someone who truly stands out—academically strong, naturally curious and driven to grow. This role is ideal for someone eager to develop their analytical ability while progressing into commercial responsibilities over time by building long-term client relationships, contributing to proposals, representing Gordian at industry events, and playing an active role in our continued growth across Africa.

A professional with:

  • An Industrial Engineering degree (B.Eng / M.Eng) or a similar qualification
  • Up to 3 years’ experience in logistics or engineering (e.g., analyst, consultant, buyer, inventory/MRP planner)
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, strong Excel skills, and confidence working with data
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • A team-oriented mindset with independence and accountability
  • French language skills (a significant advantage)
  • Based in Cape Town
