Truck Loader (Night Shift)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a furniture retailer warehouse in Gqeberha wants. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Gqeberha-based, with most of your time spent at a furniture retailer warehouse. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
• Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• No criminal record
• Friendly with customers at the door

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

• Help to get your own licence through the company later
• Uniform and safety shoes provided
• Route-completion incentives in busy months

• If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
• Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
