Job Description

You'll keep a busy online grocery fulfilment hub in Mthatha stocked, picked and moving out on time. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Mthatha-based, with most of your time spent at an online grocery fulfilment hub. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • 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
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off

Must-haves

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • 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's in it for you

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
