An opportunity has arisen for a Picker Packer in Queenstown. Suitably qualified candidates from across Eastern Cape are invited to apply.
About This Position
This Picker Packer role sits within the logistics jobs function in Queenstown. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Eastern Cape.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Queenstown operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Diversity and Inclusion
Inclusive recruitment is part of the organisation’s employment practices. Applicants are assessed on relevant qualifications, skills and experience for this role in Queenstown.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Day in the Life
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.
In addition, the Queenstown 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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Eastern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Queenstown.
The Environment
Crucially, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.
On top of that, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
Importantly, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Eastern Cape.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Queenstown site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
