Job Description

Every parcel scanned, every drop confirmed: that is the job at a pharmacy chain in Pietermaritzburg. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work, day to day

  • Load parcels in route order from the depot scanning area
  • Scan parcels on delivery and take a photo or signature
  • Return undelivered parcels to the depot with a reason code
  • Bank cheques, post documents and run office errands
  • Follow the delivery app for route and stop order
  • Phone customers when the address is hard to find
  • Deliver chronic medication to patients' homes and confirm ID

What you need

  • Good sense of direction and map reading
  • Valid Code 8 (B) licence, or A licence for motorbike roles
  • Polite with customers at the door
  • Clean driving record and no criminal record
  • Able to work Saturdays
  • At least 1 year of driving experience

Helpful, not essential

  • PrDP for staff shuttle posts
  • Knowledge of the city's industrial areas
  • Previous courier or last-mile experience

What's in it for you

  • Fuel card for work trips
  • Per-drop incentive on busy days
