Job Description

Delivery days start early in Cape Town CBD, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks

You'll need

Friendly with customers at the door
No criminal record
Willing to travel on routes that return late
Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

Extra points for

A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

What you get

Uniform and safety shoes provided
Meal allowance on long-route days
Route-completion incentives in busy months

Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
