Job Description

Delivery days start early in Bellville, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Bellville. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

Must-haves

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

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Meal allowance on long-route days
  • Help to get your own licence through the company later

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, police clearance if you already have one plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
