Job Description

You'll keep a busy online grocery fulfilment hub in Vanderbijlpark stocked, picked and moving out on time. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at an online grocery fulfilment hub in Vanderbijlpark. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking

Must-haves

  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse

What you get

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: short CV with a working cellphone number plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.
