Job Description

Every order that leaves this building-supplies depot in eMalahleni passes through your hands first. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in eMalahleni. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count

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

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  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, any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have plus short CV with a working cellphone number.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
