Job Description

You'll keep a busy pharmaceutical warehouse in Pietermaritzburg stocked, picked and moving out on time. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

The work, day to day

  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off

What you need

  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pietermaritzburg really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID, any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
