Order Picker (Cold Store)

You'll keep a busy building-supplies depot in Umhlanga stocked, picked and moving out on time. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Umhlanga; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
• Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
• Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
• Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
• Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
• Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking

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