Job Description

Every order that leaves this frozen-food distribution centre in Durban Central passes through your hands first. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

You'll need

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season

Extra points for

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse

On offer

  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
