Job Description

Delivery days start early in Cape Town CBD, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll report in Cape Town CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals

Must-haves

  • Willing to travel on routes that return late

Nice if you have

  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

On offer

  • Uniform and safety shoes provided

  • Help to get your own licence through the company later

How to apply
