Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. Role: Picker Packer. Location: Kuruman, Northern Cape. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
About the Opportunity
Equally, this Picker Packer role sits within the logistics jobs function in Kuruman. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Northern Cape.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Kuruman also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
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 Kuruman teams, and the new Picker Packer will feel that from the first week.
Equal Opportunity
Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Northern Cape, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.
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.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Kuruman.
Your Workplace
Importantly, 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.
In addition, 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 Northern Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Kuruman site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
Career Growth
Equally, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Kuruman have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Kuruman team member.
Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Kuruman have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Northern Cape.
