Loading Bay Hand (Beverage Depot)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a beverage depot in Pietermaritzburg wants. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Location: Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• No criminal record
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

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

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

• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
