Offloader (Container Depot)

You'll load and offload trucks at a furniture retailer warehouse in Sandton so every delivery goes out full and correct. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Sandton (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first

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

• 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.
