Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at an online grocery fulfilment hub in Stellenbosch, and nobody minds if it's your first job. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker

What you need

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves

Nice if you have

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

What's in it for you

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Stellenbosch really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: short CV with a working cellphone number, certified copy of your ID plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Stellenbosch.

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.
  • If you have done any stock counts, packing or even shelf work before, list it first. It shows you already know how to handle stock.
