Offloader (Container Depot)

Delivery days start early in Polokwane, and a cement and brick yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Polokwane, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

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

• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• No criminal record
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

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

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• 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.
• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
