Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

Delivery days start early in Gqeberha, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Gqeberha-based, with most of your time spent at a parcel sorting hub.

• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• No criminal record
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
• Past work as a driver's assistant
• Basic furniture assembly skills

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

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
