Order Picker (Cold Store)

You'll keep a busy pharmaceutical warehouse in Durban Central stocked, picked and moving out on time. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
