Job Description

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.

What your day looks like

  • 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

What you need

  • 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

Extra points for

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

What's in it for you

  • 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

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): CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus police clearance if you already have one.
  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 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Welkom.

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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
