Job Description

Every order that leaves this online grocery fulfilment hub in Prospecton passes through your hands first. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Home base is an online grocery fulfilment hub on the Prospecton side of KwaZulu-Natal. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

What you need

  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred

Helpful, not essential

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

On offer

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • 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 Prospecton really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put your cellphone number and the area you live in at the very top of your CV. Warehouse recruiters phone fast and hire people close by.
  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
