Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a parcel sorting hub in Bellville wants. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a parcel sorting hub.

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• Basic furniture assembly skills

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

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