Job Description

Delivery days start early in Germiston, and a furniture retailer warehouse needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Germiston; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

What you need

  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • No criminal record
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late

Extra points for

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

What you get

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

How to stand out
