Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a frozen-food distribution centre in Hammarsdale, and nobody minds if it's your first job. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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

The work, day to day

  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin

You'll need

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

Extra points for

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

On offer

  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
