Job Description

Delivery days start early in Epping, and a container unpacking yard 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 Epping. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Past work as a driver's assistant

What's in it for you

  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Meal allowance on long-route days
  • 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 Epping really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Epping; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

  • If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
