Loading Bay Hand (Beverage Depot)

Delivery days start early in Khayelitsha, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll be based at a container unpacking yard in Khayelitsha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.
