  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off

What you need

  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

Extra points for

  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts

What's in it for you

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