Job Description

Every order that leaves this frozen-food distribution centre in Gqeberha passes through your hands first. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What your day looks like

  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • 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
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count

Must-haves

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment

What you get

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Gqeberha really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

  • 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.
  • Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
