Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a frozen-food distribution centre in Cape Town CBD, and nobody minds if it's your first job. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Cape Town CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a frozen-food distribution centre.

What your day looks like

  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns

Must-haves

  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • 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
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts

What you get

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

How to apply
