Job Description

You'll keep a busy clothing distribution centre in Soweto stocked, picked and moving out on time. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Soweto. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off

You'll need

  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift

Nice if you have

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What's in it for you

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