Picker Packer

Step into a Picker Packer role in Sandton and make your mark across Gauteng. The team is hiring now and wants to hear from sharp, committed candidates.

Overview

This Picker Packer role sits within the logistics jobs function in Sandton. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.

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 Sandton teams, and the new Picker Packer will feel that from the first week.

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.

The rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.

Equally, the Sandton 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.
