Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials) – Permanent

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this container unpacking yard in Gqeberha, and you move the stock in between. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• No criminal record
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

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

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

• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
