Returns Processing Hand

You'll keep a busy frozen-food distribution centre in Epping 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 Epping-based, with most of your time spent at a frozen-food distribution centre.

• Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
• Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
• Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
• Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
• Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker

• Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
• 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

• Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
