Job description

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

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 :

• 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.
