Order Picker (Cold Store) – Experienced

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a spares and hardware warehouse in Germiston. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

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