Offloader (Container Depot)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in East London, and you move the stock in between. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is in East London (Eastern Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

• No criminal record
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
• Past work as a driver's assistant

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Help to get your own licence through the company later

• 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.
