Offloader (Container Depot)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this beverage depot in Germiston, and you move the stock in between. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Germiston. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first

• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• No criminal record
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

• Basic furniture assembly skills
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• 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.
