Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in Johannesburg CBD, and you move the stock in between. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Johannesburg CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals

• Friendly with customers at the door
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

• Basic furniture assembly skills
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

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

• 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.
