Offloader (Container Depot)

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

This post is in Brackenfell (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks

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

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

• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
