Job Description

Delivery days start early in Pinetown, and a cement and brick yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Location: Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

You'll need

Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
No criminal record
Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
Friendly with customers at the door

Extra points for

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

On offer

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

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): police clearance if you already have one, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Pinetown; 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.

How to stand out

If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
