Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in Pinetown, and you move the stock in between. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Pinetown-based, with most of your time spent at a parcel sorting hub. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

Must-haves

  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • No criminal record
  • Friendly with customers at the door

Nice if you have

  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
  • Past work as a driver's assistant

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  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): clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, police clearance if you already have one plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Pinetown; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
