Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a beverage depot in Johannesburg CBD wants. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

  • Load trucks from the load sheet in drop order, last stop first
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

Must-haves

  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • No criminal record
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)

What's in it for you

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

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. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: police clearance if you already have one, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.
