Warehouse Packer (Seasonal Peak)

You'll keep a busy online grocery fulfilment hub in Kathu stocked, picked and moving out on time. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Kathu-based, with most of your time spent at an online grocery fulfilment hub. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
• Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
• Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
• Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
• Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
• Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes

• Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
• Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
• You can read product codes and count accurately
• Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
• South African ID or a valid work permit
• You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift

• Basic computer skills for capturing counts
• A valid forklift or reach truck certificate
• Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

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

• Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
• 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.
