Job Description

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a building-supplies depot in Centurion. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)

Nice if you have

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What you get

  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
