Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes) – Permanent

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a parcel sorting hub in Midrand wants. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Midrand. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Friendly with customers at the door
• No criminal record
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

• 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
• 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.
• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
