Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this cement and brick yard in Johannesburg CBD, and you move the stock in between. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Johannesburg CBD (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

The work, day to day

Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals

What you need

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

Nice if you have

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

What you get

Route-completion incentives in busy months
Uniform and safety shoes provided
Meal allowance on long-route days

How to apply

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work plus police clearance if you already have one.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Johannesburg CBD.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
