Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a clothing distribution centre in Johannesburg CBD, and nobody minds if it's your first job. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Johannesburg CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: copy of your highest school report or matric certificate, any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have plus short CV with a working cellphone number.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

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