Job Description

Delivery days start early in Boksburg, 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.

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

What your day looks like

  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

What you need

  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

Extra points for

  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Past work as a driver's assistant
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

What's in it for you

  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Route-completion incentives in busy months
  • Help to get your own licence through the company later

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Boksburg really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: police clearance if you already have one, CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
  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 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Boksburg.

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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
