Offloader (Container Depot)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a cement and brick yard in Brakpan 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 Brakpan (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

• No criminal record
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

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

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

• 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.
