Job Description

  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor

You'll need

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

Extra points for

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts

What's in it for you

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
