Picker Packer

Applications are warmly invited for a Picker Packer role based in Phalaborwa. We welcome candidates from every background across Limpopo who are ready to grow with us.

What This Role Involves

The organisation is investing in its Phalaborwa operation, and this Picker Packer position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Limpopo business.

On top of that, the role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Phalaborwa operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Quality is everyone's job. Whether the Picker Packer is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Limpopo is consistently high and consistently fair.

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 Phalaborwa.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Phalaborwa much easier.

Your Team

Crucially, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Phalaborwa office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Limpopo operations get busy.

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.

Notably, the team mix in Phalaborwa 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.

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.

Equally, the Phalaborwa 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 Limpopo operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Phalaborwa.

Why This Role

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

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 Limpopo.

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

On top of that, 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 Phalaborwa keep progressing.

Working in Phalaborwa

Working in Phalaborwa means a place in the heart of the Tzaneen agricultural belt, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Limpopo region, and the Phalaborwa office benefits from those long-standing connections.

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

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

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 Phalaborwa.

Your Workplace

Practically speaking, 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.

Beyond 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 Limpopo. 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 Phalaborwa site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Diversity and Inclusion

Importantly, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

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 Phalaborwa.

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