Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
Able to lift and carry heavy items all day

How to apply

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work plus clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Roodepoort; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
