Work-Force
Step into a Picker Packer role in Zeerust and make your mark across North West. The team is hiring now and wants to hear from sharp, committed candidates.
About This Position
This Picker Packer role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Zeerust. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across North West.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in North West 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 Zeerust teams, and the new Picker Packer will feel that from the first week.
Where You’ll Work
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.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in North West. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
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.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Zeerust.
Crucially, the Zeerust 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.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Zeerust group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
In addition, the team mix in Zeerust reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.
