Hardware Store Yard Assistant

Night fill, weekends or month-end rush, a township shopping centre store in Springs needs extra hands. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in Springs (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Pack shelves from the back, rotating older stock to the front (first in, first out)
• Unpack deliveries in the receiving area and sort by aisle
• Face products so labels point forward and gaps are filled
• Put up price tickets and promotion shelf strips
• Collect trolleys from the parking lot
• Check sell-by dates and pull expired stock for the manager

• Neat appearance and punctual
• Honest, since stock losses are checked closely
• Basic reading and maths for price checks
• Grade 10 or matric

• Previous shelf packing or merchandising work
• Own transport for route merchandising jobs

• Chance to move into till or department roles
• Staff discount on groceries
• Travel allowance on merchandising routes

• Stores fill weekend and night-fill slots first, so write "available weekends and nights" in your CV summary line.
• If you have ever sold anything, even at a school tuck shop or a family stall, list it. It shows you are comfortable with customers.
