Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this beverage depot in Worcester, and you move the stock in between. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Worcester (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

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
Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

You'll need

Friendly with customers at the door
Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

Extra points for

Past work as a driver's assistant
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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work, police clearance if you already have one plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Worcester; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
