Job Description

Every order that leaves this building-supplies depot in Soweto passes through your hands first. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Soweto-based, with most of your time spent at a building-supplies depot.

What your day looks like

  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight

You'll need

  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

On offer

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  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 5 working days.

How to stand out
