Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Delivery days start early in Pretoria East, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Pretoria East, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

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

• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
