Receiving Clerk Assistant (Goods Inwards)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this furniture retailer warehouse in Centurion, and you move the stock in between. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Centurion-based, with most of your time spent at a furniture retailer warehouse.

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• 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

• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Willing to travel on routes that return late
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

• A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
• Basic furniture assembly skills
• Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

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

• 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.
