Warehouse Picker (Night Shift)

You'll keep a busy clothing distribution centre in Umlazi stocked, picked and moving out on time. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Umlazi. Relocation is not covered for this one. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
