Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials) – Entry Level

You'll load and offload trucks at a parcel sorting hub in Sasolburg so every delivery goes out full and correct. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Sasolburg (Free State). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Friendly with customers at the door
• No criminal record

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

• 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.
