Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

You'll load and offload trucks at a container unpacking yard in Kariega so every delivery goes out full and correct. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

Location: Kariega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

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

• Basic furniture assembly skills
• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

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

• 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.
