Job Description

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

You'll report in Durban Central. Relocation is not covered for this one.

Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

You'll need

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

Nice if you have

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

What you get

Meal allowance on long-route days
Help to get your own licence through the company later
Uniform and safety shoes provided

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, police clearance if you already have one plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Durban Central.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
