Work-Force
The organisation is recruiting a Picker Packer for its De Aar operation. The role forms part of a wider logistics jobs portfolio across Northern Cape.
About the Opportunity
An experienced Picker Packer is needed to support operations in De Aar. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in Northern Cape.
Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the De Aar team.
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 De Aar teams, and the new Picker Packer will feel that from the first week.
Importantly, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in De Aar also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
What Your Day Looks Like
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 De Aar 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 De Aar.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Equal Opportunity
Inclusive recruitment is part of the organisation’s employment practices. Applicants are assessed on relevant qualifications, skills and experience for this role in De Aar.
On top of that, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for Northern Cape.
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.
In addition, inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in De Aar.
Career Growth
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in De Aar have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every De Aar team member.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in De Aar have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Why This Role
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The De Aar colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the logistics jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Equally, the role’s development opportunities, training and benefits, if offered, will be set out in the final vacancy details.
Practically speaking, the package, working arrangements and any available support will be confirmed by the hiring organisation for this vacancy.
