Loading Bay Hand (Beverage Depot)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this furniture retailer warehouse in Rustenburg, and you move the stock in between. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Rustenburg, North West. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• Basic furniture assembly skills
• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

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

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