Job Description

Every order that leaves this spares and hardware warehouse in Durban Central passes through your hands first. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Durban Central-based, with most of your time spent at a spares and hardware warehouse. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor

Must-haves

  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • 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

Nice if you have

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment

What's in it for you

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: short CV with a working cellphone number plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
