Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a building-supplies depot in Paarl, and nobody minds if it's your first job. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Paarl-based, with most of your time spent at a building-supplies depot.

What your day looks like

  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane

What you need

  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Nice if you have

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): short CV with a working cellphone number, certified copy of your ID plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.
