Job Description

You'll keep a busy frozen-food distribution centre in Paarl stocked, picked and moving out on time. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Paarl, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin

Must-haves

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment

What's in it for you

  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: copy of your highest school report or matric certificate plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.
