Job Description

You'll load and offload trucks at a parcel sorting hub in Epping so every delivery goes out full and correct. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Home base is a parcel sorting hub on the Epping side of Western Cape. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What you'll actually do

  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

Must-haves

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

Extra points for

  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
  • Past work as a driver's assistant
  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
