Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Delivery days start early in Sandton, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a parcel sorting hub in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first

• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

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

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