Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Delivery days start early in Pinetown, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

• No criminal record
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Past work as a driver's assistant

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

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