Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a pharmaceutical warehouse 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.

Location: Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves

Extra points for

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have, 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Gqeberha.

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

  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
  • 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.
