Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a building-supplies depot in Kempton Park, and nobody minds if it's your first job. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Kempton Park, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes

What you need

  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • You can read product codes and count accurately

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
