Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

You'll load and offload trucks at a cement and brick yard in Randburg so every delivery goes out full and correct. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

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

• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals

• Friendly with customers at the door
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
• Past work as a driver's assistant

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

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