Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

You'll load and offload trucks at a furniture retailer warehouse in Kariega so every delivery goes out full and correct. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Kariega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

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

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

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

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