Job Description

Delivery days start early in Phalaborwa, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work plus police clearance if you already have one.
