Offloader (Container Depot)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a furniture retailer warehouse in George wants. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a furniture retailer warehouse. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• No criminal record

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

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