Job Description

You'll keep a busy pharmaceutical warehouse in Gqeberha stocked, picked and moving out on time. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Gqeberha-based, with most of your time spent at a pharmaceutical warehouse. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What your day looks like

  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor

What you need

  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

What's in it for you

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Gqeberha really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have, short CV with a working cellphone number plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  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 9 working days.
