Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a parcel sorting hub in Centurion wants. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll be based at a parcel sorting hub in Centurion. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

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

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

• 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.
