Job Description

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

You'll be based at a building-supplies depot in Stellenbosch. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off

You'll need

  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift

Extra points for

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What's in it for you

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

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): copy of your highest school report or matric certificate, certified copy of your ID plus short CV with a working cellphone number.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Stellenbosch.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
  • If you have done any stock counts, packing or even shelf work before, list it first. It shows you already know how to handle stock.
