Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

Delivery days start early in White River, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in White River (Mpumalanga). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Friendly with customers at the door
• No criminal record
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

• Basic furniture assembly skills
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

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

• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
