Job Description

You'll keep a busy frozen-food distribution centre in Brackenfell stocked, picked and moving out on time. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Brackenfell-based, with most of your time spent at a frozen-food distribution centre.

What you'll actually do

  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule

You'll need

  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season

Extra points for

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): short CV with a working cellphone number, 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 9 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • If you have done any stock counts, packing or even shelf work before, list it first. It shows you already know how to handle stock.
  • Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
