Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials) – Entry Level

Delivery days start early in eMalahleni, and a beverage depot 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.

You'll report in eMalahleni. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

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

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

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• 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.
