Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

You'll load and offload trucks at a furniture retailer warehouse in Ballito so every delivery goes out full and correct. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• 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
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• No criminal record
• Friendly with customers at the door

• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Basic furniture assembly skills

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Meal allowance on long-route days

• 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.
