Job Description

Every parcel scanned, every drop confirmed: that is the job at an engineering firm in Prospecton. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Prospecton-based, with most of your time spent at an engineering firm. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What your day looks like

  • Return undelivered parcels to the depot with a reason code
  • Fill up the vehicle and keep fuel slips for the logbook
  • Scan parcels on delivery and take a photo or signature
  • Load parcels in route order from the depot scanning area
  • Keep your vehicle or bike clean and report faults
  • Phone customers when the address is hard to find

You'll need

  • At least 1 year of driving experience
  • Clean driving record and no criminal record
  • Good sense of direction and map reading
  • Smartphone and comfortable using delivery apps
  • Valid Code 8 (B) licence, or A licence for motorbike roles

Extra points for

  • Previous courier or last-mile experience
  • Knowledge of the city's industrial areas

What you get

  • Per-drop incentive on busy days
  • Branded uniform and rain gear
  • Fuel card for work trips
  • Company van, bakkie or scooter provided

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): a CV with any delivery or courier work plus Code 8 or motorbike licence copy.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • If you have a clean driving record, write "no accidents, no traffic fines" plainly. It is what recruiters look for.
  • For owner-driver jobs, list your vehicle's make, year and load size. They hire the vehicle as much as the driver.
