About Lumax Energy:
Lumax Energy is a leader in engineered solar mounting structures, delivering reliable, high-performance solutions across Africa. Our warehouse forms the backbone of our operation — fast-paced, steel-focused, and precision-driven. We're looking for a hands-on Warehouse Manager to take charge of our operations and keep things moving like clockwork.

The Role:
We’re not looking for a clipboard manager. We’re looking for someone who knows what it’s like to manage steel stock, long extrusions, fast-moving parts, and the daily grind of a busy production-linked warehouse. You’ll lead a team of 30+ people, oversee order dispatch, stock control, and quality, and be the go-to person for ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely — day in and day out.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage daily picking, packing, and dispatch of steel components and accessories
  • Control stock levels, oversee regular counts, and eliminate loss and theft
  • Maintain accurate records using ERP systems and manual checks
  • Drive warehouse housekeeping — clean, safe, and organised is non-negotiable
  • Lead and manage warehouse staff: delegate, monitor, and hold accountable
  • Work closely with logistics to ensure timely movement of goods
  • Maintain ISO 9001 documentation and ensure compliance across operations
  • Identify process gaps and implement improvements with speed and precision
  • Promote a strong health and safety culture — equipment, PPE, and procedures
  • Operate and oversee heavy machinery use (e.g. forklifts, cranes)
  • Perform ad hoc duties as required to support business needs

Requirements:

  • Proven experience managing a busy warehouse in the steel, manufacturing, or engineering sector (minimum 3–5 years)
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to lead from the front and get stuck in
  • Confident using ERP systems and managing real-time stock movements
  • Experience managing high-volume smalls alongside large, heavy stock items
  • ISO 9001 knowledge and quality control awareness
  • Safety-first mindset — must know how to run a clean, compliant operation
  • Diploma or degree in logistics, supply chain, or business (preferred but not essential if experience is solid)

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Work best in high-pressure, high-output environments
  • Understand steel/aluminium handling, packing, safety risks, and storage
  • Can keep staff focused, productive, and accountable
  • Are naturally organised and solutions-oriented

What We Offer:

  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment.
  • Opportunities for growth and development in the renewable energy industry.
  • Exposure to exciting projects and warehouse management challenges.

I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.
