Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a pharmaceutical warehouse in East London, and nobody minds if it's your first job. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

What your day looks like

  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • 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

You'll need

  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves

Nice if you have

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

On offer

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