Job Description

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this furniture retailer warehouse in Johannesburg CBD, and you move the stock in between. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Location: Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

What you need

  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • No criminal record
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

What you get

  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Help to get your own licence through the company later
  • Route-completion incentives in busy months
  • Meal allowance on long-route days

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, police clearance if you already have one plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

  • If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
