Job Description

This logistics depot in Newcastle needs quick fingers and sharp eyes on every form. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at a logistics depot in Newcastle. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Pull and file physical records in date or account-number order.
  • Prepare simple Excel reports on volumes and backlogs.
  • Capture claim forms, invoices or delivery notes onto the system.
  • Scan and index files so they can be found by reference number.
  • Update client records when addresses or banking details change.

Must-haves

  • Careful with personal information and confidentiality
  • Six months of admin or capturing work, or a completed learnership
  • Comfortable with overtime at month-end
  • You can concentrate on repetitive work for a full day
  • Typing speed of at least 35 wpm with good accuracy
  • A matric pass, any subjects

Nice if you have

  • A Business Administration NQF Level 3 or 4 certificate
  • SAP, Sage or Pastel experience

What you get

  • Contracts that often turn permanent for strong performers
  • Office hours with overtime paid at the BCEA rate
  • Training on the company system from day one
  • Close to public transport routes

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Newcastle really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any computer or typing course certificates plus your matric results, certified.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
