Job Description

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a clothing distribution centre in Tembisa. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll be based at a clothing distribution centre in Tembisa. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane

Must-haves

  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

What's in it for you

  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): short CV with a working cellphone number, any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.
