Offloader (Container Depot)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a container unpacking yard in Phalaborwa wants. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Phalaborwa. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off

• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Friendly with customers at the door
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

• Past work as a driver's assistant
• Basic furniture assembly skills
• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

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

• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
