A well-established aviation environment based in Johannesburg, Benoni is seeking a detail-driven Store Officer to take ownership of inventory control, receiving, issuing, and compliance within a regulated, high-pressure setting. This role suits someone who thrives on order, accuracy, and accountability, because in aviation, “almost right” is still wrong.

If you’re someone who finds comfort in systems, precision, and accountability, and understands that in aviation, detail is everything, this role will suit you well.
