Job Description

You'll load and offload trucks at a container unpacking yard in Paarl so every delivery goes out full and correct. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is in Paarl (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

Must-haves

  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • No criminal record
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

Nice if you have

  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
  • Past work as a driver's assistant

On offer

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