Job Description

Every order that leaves this spares and hardware warehouse in Johannesburg CBD passes through your hands first. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Johannesburg CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner
  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse

What's in it for you

  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays

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: any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have plus certified copy of your ID.
  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 5 working days.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

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