Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a cement and brick yard in Harrismith wants. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Harrismith; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

• Friendly with customers at the door
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
• Basic furniture assembly skills
• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

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

• 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.
