Job Description

Every order that leaves this pharmaceutical warehouse in Sandton passes through your hands first. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Sandton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • 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
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor

Must-haves

  • 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)
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred

Nice if you have

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

What's in it for you

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
