Job Description

Delivery days start early in East London, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

What you'll actually do

  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count

What you need

  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note

Extra points for

  • Past work as a driver's assistant
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops
  • Basic furniture assembly skills

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. 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.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
