Offloader (Container Depot)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in Mthatha, and you move the stock in between. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is Mthatha-based, with most of your time spent at a parcel sorting hub.

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

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

• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

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

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
