Job Description

Every order that leaves this frozen-food distribution centre in Khayelitsha passes through your hands first. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is in Khayelitsha (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)

Nice if you have

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse

On offer

  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
