Loading Bay Hand (Beverage Depot)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this beverage depot in Potchefstroom, and you move the stock in between. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Potchefstroom, North West, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals

• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Meal allowance on long-route days
