A permanent General Worker position at AutoZone in Polokwane is available for applicants with Grade 12 who can support merchandising, picking, packing and stock receiving in a busy automotive retail environment.
The role is suited to someone who is reliable, energetic and comfortable with practical store and warehouse duties. Customer service, communication and a working understanding of warehousing procedures are also important.

As a General Worker, you may help:
