Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a container unpacking yard in Atlantis wants. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll report in Atlantis. Relocation is not covered for this one. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • 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

What you need

  • No criminal record
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

Extra points for

  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • Past work as a driver's assistant

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): police clearance if you already have one, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
