Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Delivery days start early in Pietermaritzburg, and a cement and brick yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is in Pietermaritzburg (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop

• No criminal record
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Uniform and safety shoes provided

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
