Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes) – Entry Level

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a cement and brick yard in Mamelodi wants. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in Mamelodi (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

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

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• No criminal record
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

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

• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Uniform and safety shoes provided

• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
