Driver's Assistant (Parcel Routes)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a parcel sorting hub in Vereeniging wants. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Vereeniging, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• 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

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

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Help to get your own licence through the company later
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Meal allowance on long-route days

• 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.
