Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a container unpacking yard in Midrand wants. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a container unpacking yard in Midrand. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

What your day looks like

  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first

Must-haves

  • No criminal record
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • Friendly with customers at the door

Extra points for

  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Basic furniture assembly skills

On offer

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