Job Description

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a frozen-food distribution centre in Prospecton. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Prospecton-based, with most of your time spent at a frozen-food distribution centre.

The work, day to day

  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

What you need

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred

Extra points for

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment

What's in it for you

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