Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in eMalahleni, and you move the stock in between. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in eMalahleni; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

• No criminal record
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Meal allowance on long-route days
