Job Description

You'll keep a busy pharmaceutical warehouse in Alberton stocked, picked and moving out on time. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Alberton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight

What you need

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Extra points for

  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse

On offer

  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
