Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Delivery days start early in Polokwane, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Polokwane-based, with most of your time spent at a container unpacking yard. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

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

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

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

• 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.
