About the Role

Based permanently at our high-volume distribution facility in Briardene, Durban, these positions form the vital operational framework of our branch stock movement network. The primary purpose of the Stores Assistant is to support the team in planning, organizing, and controlling the daily operations of the branch warehouse by processing internal sales orders efficiently, verifying physical item quality, and keeping stock allocations perfectly aligned with inventory ledgers.

These permanent positions require a completed Grade 12 / Matric certificate or its equivalent as an absolute, non-negotiable minimum baseline. To ensure smooth operational workflows, a minimum of 2 years of practical work experience within a stores or warehouse environment provides a distinct advantage. Candidates must display good electrical product knowledge, familiarity with general warehouse bin layouts, and a clear understanding of industrial safety standard clothing. Because you will interact directly with internal sales clerks and walk-in trade customers daily, you must possess clear communication skills, an organized mindset to sign off picking slips and stock bin cards accurately, and the physical capability to assist with cable cutting, loading, offloading, and continuous warehouse housekeeping duties.

The ideal candidates bring an outstanding eye for detail, deep physical stamina, and a cooperative team attitude. Joining the logistics infrastructure team at Voltex provides stock specialists with outstanding corporate stability, a competitive market-related salary package, comprehensive group benefits—including medical aid and a corporate retirement fund—as well as structured employee development and training opportunities to build a long-term career path within the wider supply chain industry.

Please note: Having a completed Matric certificate is a strict, mandatory prerequisite to enter the selection process for these positions.

A minimum of 2 years of experience handling picking slips, paired with specific knowledge regarding correct cable cutting measurements and electrical product lines, will be heavily prioritized during the initial screening phase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly are these warehouse positions located, and can I hand-deliver my CV?

The two open positions are permanently attached to the Voltex branch in Briardene, Durban. To comply with corporate data security regulations and automated candidate screening systems, all profiles must be submitted online through authorized digital channels; physical paper CV drop-offs at the warehouse entrance are not processed.

What happens if I have never cut industrial electrical cables before?

While prior experience with heavy cable cutting is an advantage, it is not an absolute dealbreaker. Candidates with a valid Matric certificate and strong mathematical accuracy will receive comprehensive, supervised training on how to use cable cutting machinery safely.

Will I be expected to work overtime or assist with driving delivery vehicles?

The primary focus involves internal warehouse processing during standard business hours. However, assistants must display operational flexibility, which includes staying late during official stock-taking periods or assisting with unloading delivery trucks during high-volume periods.

What format should my supporting documents be in when uploading my digital profile?

Your CV, Matric certificate, and identity document must be uploaded as high-clarity digital PDF or Word files to ensure automated enterprise parsers interpret your credentials correctly.

How does a Stores Assistant handle an incorrect item quantity while picking?

The assistant must stop processing the order immediately, refrain from signing the picking slip, adjust the record on the physical bin card, and report the variance directly to the Warehouse Supervisor or Branch Manager to resolve the system imbalance.
