Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this container unpacking yard in Welkom, and you move the stock in between. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

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

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

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

• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

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

• 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.
