Job Description

You'll keep a busy building-supplies depot in Umhlanga stocked, picked and moving out on time. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Umhlanga; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Keep aisles clear of plastic, cardboard and loose pallets
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane

Must-haves

  • Punctual, with reliable transport home after late shifts
  • You can read product codes and count accurately
  • Grade 10 or higher; matric preferred
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • South African ID or a valid work permit

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: copy of your highest school report or matric certificate plus any forklift or first-aid certificates you already have.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.
