Job Description

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at an online grocery fulfilment hub in Kuruman. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at an online grocery fulfilment hub in Kuruman. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets

You'll need

  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What's in it for you

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Kuruman really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): copy of your highest school report or matric certificate, certified copy of your ID plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.
