Offloader (Container Depot)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a beverage depot in Thohoyandou wants. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Thohoyandou; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises

• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• No criminal record
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Friendly with customers at the door

• Route-completion incentives in busy months
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Meal allowance on long-route days
• Help to get your own licence through the company later

• Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
