Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this furniture retailer warehouse in Sasolburg, and you move the stock in between. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Sasolburg. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first

Must-haves

  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • No criminal record

Extra points for

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

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): police clearance if you already have one, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
