The sort of work we do every day
Our work is hands-on and practical. One hour may involve helping a customer understand the difference between slow masticating juicers, centrifugal juicers and cold presses, and the next may be checking a seal, packing a machine for delivery or talking through cleaning steps after first use. We deal with customers across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria, George, Stellenbosch and Somerset West, so clear communication matters.
People do well here when they can stay organised, work neatly and handle real questions without fuss.
Roles we usually hire for
We often need people in customer-facing and operational roles, plus support behind the scenes. Some roles suit someone who enjoys speaking to customers, while others suit someone who prefers practical work with products, parts and packing. A calm manner helps, as does the ability to follow instructions and keep records in order.
MiniPress team members often help with first time setup queries, spare parts requests, screen care, leak troubleshooting, noise and vibration checks, cable plug checks and routine care plans. That means a good eye for detail matters, as well as the habit of checking things twice before sending out advice or a parcel.

What strong applicants tend to bring
We look for people who are punctual, careful and able to work with everyday home appliance questions. You do not need to know everything on day one, but you should be willing to learn product differences, basic food safety, cleaning routines and the practical steps that keep a juicer working well. A neat work style matters, especially where juices, parts and electrical items are handled in the same space.
Experience in retail, dispatch, call handling, appliance support or online order coordination can be useful. If you have worked in a busy local business before, you will probably recognise the pace. We also value people who can write clearly, speak respectfully and keep things moving when orders need to get out on time.
How the team works from Paarden Eiland
Our base in Paarden Eiland supports deliveries and customer queries across South Africa, with local knowledge that matters when arranging transport and handling returns. Coastal humidity can affect storage, so we keep an eye on seals, screens and other parts that need dry handling. In warehouse and dispatch work, order and labelling are just as important as speed.
The team works across different functions, so good handover habits are part of the job. Ayesha handles operations, Sibusiso supports technical queries, Megan coordinates online sales, Ruan manages warehouse and dispatch, Nomonde takes care of customer communication and Tariq supports content and training. MD Lukhanyo Mthembu guides the business overall.
That mix means new team members need to be comfortable working with others and asking practical questions early, rather than guessing later.

A workplace built around careful service
MiniPress is a practical place to work if you like clear standards and real responsibility. Our customers expect helpful guidance on setup, cleaning, seals, screens, storage care and safe use, so accuracy matters. We also value people who can handle routine tasks well, because the small things often decide how smoothly a day runs.
If you are looking for a role where neat work, steady follow through and useful communication count, this may be a good fit. We do not expect perfection, but we do expect care, honesty and a proper effort to do the job well.
