Job Description

You'll keep a busy frozen-food distribution centre in Isando stocked, picked and moving out on time. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

Location: Isando, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • 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
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane

Must-haves

  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • 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
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What you get

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