Job Description

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a spares and hardware warehouse in Mossel Bay. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Mossel Bay; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker

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
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • You can read product codes and count accurately

Nice if you have

  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What's in it for you

  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • 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. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: short CV with a working cellphone number plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

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

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.
  • Put your cellphone number and the area you live in at the very top of your CV. Warehouse recruiters phone fast and hire people close by.
