Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a cement and brick yard in Johannesburg CBD wants. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

You'll need

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

Extra points for

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

What you get

Uniform and safety shoes provided
Help to get your own licence through the company later
Route-completion incentives in busy months
Meal allowance on long-route days

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: police clearance if you already have one plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
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 Johannesburg CBD; 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.

Before you hit apply

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.
