Ackermans Jobs — How to Apply
Ackermans is part of the Pepkor group and hires store assistants, cashiers and supervisors across its national footprint, alongside distribution centre and head office roles.
Before you apply, have this ready
- A South African ID — or a valid work permit if you are not a citizen.
- An up-to-date CV as a PDF, with a phone number and email address that both work.
- Your matric certificate if you have one. Many store roles accept applicants without one, so apply either way.
- Your availability — retail rosters cover evenings, weekends and public holidays, and being flexible is often what decides it.
- A contactable reference from any previous work, including informal or seasonal jobs.
No agent can guarantee you a Ackermans post. Anyone asking for payment to “secure” a job, submit your CV or arrange an interview is running a scam. Report it and walk away.

Frequently asked questions
How do I apply for a job at Ackermans?
Applications are made on Ackermans’ own careers portal, linked on this page. You will normally need to create a profile once, then apply to individual posts from it. Ackermans does not charge to apply, and no legitimate employer in South Africa asks for a fee, a deposit or your banking details as part of an application.
Does Ackermans have vacancies right now?
We are tracking 14 Ackermans listings on this page, last refreshed on 30 August 2026. The official portal is still the authoritative list - it will usually carry posts that never reach a job board.
Do I need experience or a matric certificate to work at Ackermans?
It depends entirely on the post. Entry-level roles generally ask for a National Senior Certificate (matric) and no formal experience, while specialist, technical and management posts set their own requirements. Every advert states its own minimum requirements - read those rather than assuming.
Is there a fee to apply, or an agent who can guarantee me a job?
No. Applying to Ackermans is free and no one can guarantee you a post. Any person or WhatsApp group asking for payment to "secure" a job, submit your CV or arrange an interview is running a scam. Report it and walk away.
