Job Description

You'll keep a busy frozen-food distribution centre in Vanderbijlpark stocked, picked and moving out on time. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Vanderbijlpark. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight

What you need

  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • 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

Helpful, not essential

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment
  • A valid forklift or reach truck certificate

On offer

  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified copy of your ID, copy of your highest school report or matric certificate 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Say clearly that you can work nights and weekends. Peak-season hiring goes to people who are available.
  • Arrive for the interview in closed shoes. Some warehouses walk you through the floor straight away.
