Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this container unpacking yard in Coega, and you move the stock in between. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Coega (Eastern Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• No criminal record

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• 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
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Help to get your own licence through the company later

• 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.
