Job Description

Every order that leaves this online grocery fulfilment hub in Cape Town CBD passes through your hands first. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor

What you need

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Nice if you have

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment

What's in it for you

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus short CV with a working cellphone number.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.
