Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a container unpacking yard in Johannesburg CBD wants. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

What you need

Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
No criminal record
Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
Friendly with customers at the door

Nice if you have

Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
Past work as a driver's assistant
A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

What you get

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