Job Description

You'll load and offload trucks at a container unpacking yard in Epping so every delivery goes out full and correct. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The work is in Epping, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first

You'll need

No criminal record
Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
Friendly with customers at the door
Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

Extra points for

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

What you get

Help to get your own licence through the company later
Uniform and safety shoes provided
Route-completion incentives in busy months

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, police clearance if you already have one plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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

Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
