Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in Somerset West, and you move the stock in between. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Somerset West, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

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

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

• 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.
