Job Description

Every order that leaves this clothing distribution centre in Somerset West passes through your hands first. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll be based at a clothing distribution centre in Somerset West. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes

What you need

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift

Nice if you have

  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts

On offer

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • 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

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: any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have, certified copy of your ID plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  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.
