Job Description

Delivery days start early in Upington, and a parcel sorting hub needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Upington, Northern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

You'll need

Willing to travel on routes that return late
Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
Friendly with customers at the door
Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
No criminal record

Nice if you have

A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
Basic furniture assembly skills
Past work as a driver's assistant

On offer

Help to get your own licence through the company later
Meal allowance on long-route days
Uniform and safety shoes provided

Before you hit apply

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.
