Offloader (Container Depot)

Delivery days start early in George, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a container unpacking yard. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop

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

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

• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
