Job Description

Every order that leaves this frozen-food distribution centre in East London passes through your hands first. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Wear thermal gear and rotate in and out of freezer zones on schedule
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count

You'll need

  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Willing to wear safety boots, a reflector vest and gloves
  • South African ID or a valid work permit
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift

Nice if you have

  • Living within walking or taxi distance of the warehouse
  • Previous picking experience with a handheld RF scanner

What you get

  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in East London really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.
