Job Description

You'll keep a busy pharmaceutical warehouse in Umhlanga stocked, picked and moving out on time. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is in Umhlanga (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What your day looks like

  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule

Must-haves

  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What you get

  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied

How to apply

  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: certified copy of your ID plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
