Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this beverage depot in Ermelo, 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 Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a beverage depot.

The work, day to day

  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

Must-haves

  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

Extra points for

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

On offer

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