Pick & Pack Hand (Online Orders)

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a frozen-food distribution centre in Benoni, and nobody minds if it's your first job. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Benoni; 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.
