Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a parcel sorting hub in Germiston wants. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll report in Germiston. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Help to get your own licence through the company later
