Job Description

Every order that leaves this frozen-food distribution centre in Paarl passes through your hands first. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Paarl, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule

You'll need

  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season

Nice if you have

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

What you get

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): short CV with a working cellphone number plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.
