Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a building-supplies depot in Umlazi, and nobody minds if it's your first job. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Location: Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • 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
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane

What you need

  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)

Extra points for

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What you get

  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied

  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
