Vacancy Details

What Does the Job Involve?

The successful candidate will support the driver and warehouse team to ensure that stock is handled carefully and delivered to the correct destinations. Accuracy matters throughout the process, from selecting undamaged products to checking deliveries against the relevant paperwork.

Loading and Unloading Stock

Duties include loading stock onto trucks, checking for damage and ensuring that loads are balanced and secured before departure.

At delivery points, the Driver’s Assistant will help offload stock according to the Proof of Delivery (POD), making sure the correct products reach the intended destination.

Stock Picking and Returns

The employee will help pick and stack stock according to company procedures. Damaged products must not be selected for dispatch.

Returned stock must also be packed neatly and secured correctly for transport.

Supporting the Driver

The role includes assisting with delivery paperwork and general delivery activities, as well as keeping the truck clean and presentable.

This makes teamwork and communication important: the assistant must work closely with the driver while helping deliveries run smoothly.

Safety and Housekeeping

Employees must follow safe working procedures, Occupational Health and Safety requirements and the food safety standards identified in the advert, including FSSC 22000.

Keeping the workplace and truck tidy and free from hazards forms part of the daily responsibilities.

Minimum Requirements

Applicants must have:

• Grade 12 or an equivalent NQF Level 4 qualification.
• Stock stacking and loading skills.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• Basic knowledge of products, warehouse layouts and stacking and safety procedures.
• A reliable, energetic and presentable approach to work.

A Code C1 (10) driving licence with PrDP or Code EC (14) is listed as desirable. A driving licence is not compulsory for this vacancy.

Physical and Travel Requirements

Candidates should consider the practical demands of the position before applying. The successful applicant must:

• Be physically fit and able to lift heavy bags weighing up to 40kg.
• Be willing to travel long distances with the driver.
• Be available for early starts and overnight stays when required.
• Be flexible about additional duties and work outside normal hours as operational needs arise.

The role is therefore suited to someone comfortable with physical work and a delivery schedule that may extend beyond regular working hours.

Is Previous Experience Required?

The supplied advert does not specify a minimum number of years of work experience. It does, however, list loading, stacking, communication and teamwork skills, together with basic warehouse and safety knowledge.

Candidates with relevant experience should highlight it clearly in their CVs, particularly work involving stock handling, delivery assistance, dispatch or warehouse housekeeping.
