Order Picker (Cold Store)

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a pharmaceutical warehouse in Pietermaritzburg. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Pietermaritzburg. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
