Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a furniture retailer warehouse in Durban Central wants. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is in Durban Central (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

The work, day to day

Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

Must-haves

Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
Willing to travel on routes that return late
Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

On offer

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

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
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.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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

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.
