Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a spares and hardware warehouse in Vanderbijlpark, and nobody minds if it's your first job. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Vanderbijlpark; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

On offer

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Vanderbijlpark really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified copy of your ID, 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. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

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.

How to stand out

  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
  • Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
