Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a clothing distribution centre in Gqeberha, and nobody minds if it's your first job. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker

You'll need

  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • 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)
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

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