Job Description

You'll keep a busy clothing distribution centre in Prospecton stocked, picked and moving out on time. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Prospecton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • 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
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes

What you need

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

Nice if you have

  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts

What you get

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.

  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
