Job Description

You'll keep a busy clothing distribution centre in Johannesburg CBD stocked, picked and moving out on time. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

The work, day to day

  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Unpack returned parcels and sort them into resell or write-off
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes

Must-haves

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

Nice if you have

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

What you get

  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekdays

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, short CV with a working cellphone number plus copy of your highest school report or matric certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.
