Picker Packer

Role: Picker Packer. Location: Cape Town, Western Cape. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

About This Position

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

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Cape Town.

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

About Cape Town

Cape Town continues to grow as an employment hub in Western Cape, with near the V&A Waterfront precinct. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Cape Town.

Many candidates already living within reach of Cape Town cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Western Cape economy.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Cape Town, Western Cape.

What We Offer

You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Cape Town colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the logistics jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Cape Town teams.

Benefits are clear and consistent. Beyond the package on offer, the role includes the supports you would expect from an established South African employer in Western Cape.

The company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Cape Town keep progressing.

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 Cape Town.

Notably, the Cape Town 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 Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Diversity and Inclusion

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Western Cape, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western 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.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Cape Town.

Your Team

Notably, you will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Cape Town group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Beyond that, the team mix in Cape Town reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
