Offloader (Container Depot)

You'll load and offload trucks at a beverage depot in Gqeberha so every delivery goes out full and correct. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks

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

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

• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Help to get your own licence through the company later
• 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.
