Job Description

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a pharmaceutical warehouse in Gqeberha. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin

You'll need

  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What you get

  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
