Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this furniture retailer warehouse in Gqeberha, and you move the stock in between. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll be based at a furniture retailer warehouse in Gqeberha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

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
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

Must-haves

  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • No criminal record
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Past work as a driver's assistant

What you get

  • Route-completion incentives in busy months
  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Help to get your own licence through the company later

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): police clearance if you already have one, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
