Job Description

Delivery days start early in Prospecton, and a beverage depot needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Home base is a beverage depot on the Prospecton side of KwaZulu-Natal.

What your day looks like

  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

Must-haves

  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • No criminal record
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

Nice if you have

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

On offer

  • Help to get your own licence through the company later
  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Route-completion incentives in busy months

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work, police clearance if you already have one plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.
