Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a pharmaceutical warehouse in Potchefstroom, and nobody minds if it's your first job. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a pharmaceutical warehouse on the Potchefstroom side of North West. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

The work, day to day

  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin

What you need

  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)

What's in it for you

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