Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Delivery days start early in Ballito, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Ballito (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

• Friendly with customers at the door
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
• Past work as a driver's assistant

• Help to get your own licence through the company later
• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Route-completion incentives in busy months

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
