Job Description

Delivery days start early in Kathu, and a beverage depot needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Kathu-based, with most of your time spent at a beverage depot.

What your day looks like

  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

You'll need

  • No criminal record
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • 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

Nice if you have

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

On offer

  • Route-completion incentives in busy months
  • Meal allowance on long-route days
  • Uniform and safety shoes provided

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Kathu really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Kathu.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

  • If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
