Warehouse Packer (Seasonal Peak)

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a building-supplies depot in Middelburg (MP). If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The site is in Middelburg (MP); early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
• Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
• Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
• Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
• Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker

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

• 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
• Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied

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