Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a beverage depot in Soweto wants. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Soweto (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
