Job Description

Every order that leaves this clothing distribution centre in Umhlanga passes through your hands first. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Umhlanga; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane

Must-haves

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

What's in it for you

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • 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. Keep copies of these ready to send: any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have, certified copy of your ID 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 6 working days.
