Evergreens jobs available across different departments
Evergreens operates in the retail grocery sector, with its Kempton Park operation serving as a major wholesale and retail facility. The company’s LinkedIn profile identifies its headquarters in Kempton Park, Gauteng.
Recent recruitment information indicates that opportunities can include entry-level positions as well as jobs requiring previous retail or specialist experience.
Examples of roles advertised by Evergreens include:
- Butchery / General Assistant – assisting the butchery department with general duties.
- Warehouse Assistant – receiving fresh produce and consumable stock and checking quantities, quality and expiry dates.
- Trolley Attendant – collecting and cleaning trolleys while helping maintain surrounding areas.
- GRV Clerk – capturing supplier invoices, claims and returns within required deadlines.
The requirements vary according to the position.
Entry-level opportunities for Matriculants
Several of the advertised Evergreens positions list a Matric NSC Pass among their requirements.
For example, the Butchery, Warehouse Assistant and Trolley Attendant vacancies include Matric as a requirement. Some positions also require applicants to have a clear criminal record and not use drugs.
Applicants should not assume that having Matric alone guarantees consideration. Individual vacancies can have additional requirements, including relevant experience, training or licences.
For the Warehouse Assistant position, for example, experience or training in FMCG and fresh produce handling was listed, while a BT or forklift licence was indicated as preferred.
Documents applicants may need
Job seekers applying for positions that specifically request supporting documents should prepare their application carefully.
Requirements appearing in the supplied vacancy information include:
- An updated CV.
- A certified copy of a South African ID.
- A certified copy of a Matric NSC certificate where the vacancy requests it.
- Other supporting documentation relevant to the position.
- Evidence of relevant licences or training where required.
Applicants should read the requirements for the specific vacancy before submitting their documents.
How to apply for Evergreens vacancies
Evergreens has used online recruitment platforms for its vacancies, including professional job platforms.
The company’s LinkedIn profile also shows that recruitment for some positions is handled directly through Evergreens, with applicants instructed to submit their CVs and supporting documents to the company’s recruitment contact.
For applicants looking for current vacancies, the safest approach is to start with Evergreens’ official website and verified company recruitment channels, rather than relying on old vacancy advertisements circulating on social media.

Applicants should also verify whether a vacancy is still open before submitting personal documents.
Be careful with old vacancy posts
An important point for job seekers is that vacancy advertisements can remain visible online after recruitment has ended.
For example, Evergreens recently confirmed that its GRV Clerk vacancy had been filled, while other positions had specific closing dates.
This means applicants should check the publication date, closing date and current status of a vacancy rather than assuming that every Evergreens job advertisement found online is still accepting applications.
What job seekers should know
Evergreens’ recruitment activity shows that opportunities can arise across different areas of grocery retail, including store operations, receiving, fresh produce and management.
For people starting out in retail, entry-level positions may provide exposure to areas such as stock handling, customer-facing operations, merchandising and store support. More specialised roles may require previous experience or technical knowledge.
However, applicants should assess each vacancy individually because the qualifications and experience requirements differ from one position to another.
Job application checklist
Before submitting an application, job seekers should:
- Check that the vacancy is still open.
- Read the complete requirements.
- Update their CV.
- Include certified documents when specifically requested.
- Include relevant licences or qualifications where applicable.
- Use the correct job title in the application where instructed.
- Apply through a verified recruitment channel.
- Keep copies of documents submitted.
