Work-Force
Whether you are an experienced Picker Packer or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in Roodepoort. The team hires on merit and across communities in Gauteng.
About the Opportunity
The Picker Packer vacancy forms part of how the Roodepoort branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Roodepoort teams, and the new Picker Packer will feel that from the first week.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Roodepoort have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Roodepoort group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Equally, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Roodepoort will be explained during the hiring process.
A Typical Day
Your day kicks off in the yard or at the dock, checking schedules, briefing your team and lining up the day’s priorities. You move between receiving, picking, dispatch and the WMS, keeping a close eye on accuracy and time slots. There are constant conversations — with drivers, controllers, customers and the warehouse floor — and the better you communicate, the smoother things run. By the end of the shift, the racks are tidy, the trucks are out, and the next inbound load is already on its way.
Notably, the Roodepoort office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Roodepoort.
