Loading Bay Hand (Beverage Depot)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this furniture retailer warehouse in Cape Town CBD, and you move the stock in between. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
