Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials) – Fixed-Term

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a furniture retailer warehouse in Kariega wants. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Kariega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

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

• Friendly with customers at the door
• 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

• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
• Past work as a driver's assistant

• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Help to get your own licence through the company later

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