Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a beverage depot in Prospecton wants. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Home base is a beverage depot on the Prospecton side of KwaZulu-Natal.

What you'll actually do

Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks

What you need

No criminal record
Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
Willing to travel on routes that return late
Friendly with customers at the door
Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

Helpful, not essential

Past work as a driver's assistant
Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

On offer

Uniform and safety shoes provided
Meal allowance on long-route days

How to apply for this job

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): police clearance if you already have one, CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Prospecton.

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.

Before you hit apply

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.
