Dispatch Controller (Distribution Depot)

Behind every truck on the road is a controller; at a courier operations centre in Kempton Park, that could be you. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Kempton Park. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Phone drivers when trucks stop too long or go off-route
• Compile daily reports on trips completed and late deliveries
