Job Description

You'll load and offload trucks at a furniture retailer warehouse in Boksburg so every delivery goes out full and correct. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Boksburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

What you need

  • 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
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

Nice if you have

  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus police clearance if you already have one.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 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

  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
  • If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
