Job Description

You'll keep a busy online grocery fulfilment hub in Newcastle 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 report in Newcastle. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What you'll actually do

  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

What you need

  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
