Job Overview

- Area: Johannesburg Central
- Industry: Logistics and warehousing
- Salary and closing date: Not stated, so ask at interview
About the Opportunity
Boardroom’s notice lists seven openings: general workers, tally clerks, weighbridge clerks, forklift drivers, a fleet administrator, a logistics controller and bobcat operators. That mix points to a goods-handling and transport operation with work on the floor, in the yard and in the office. This post covers the two roles that suit hands-on applicants.
General Worker
General workers keep a logistics operation moving. Expect to load and offload stock, move goods by hand, keep storage areas clean and support drivers and clerks. The advert sets no experience requirement, so a reliable record counts for a lot. List any warehouse, packing, loading, cleaning or yard work you have done, including casual or short-term jobs.

Forklift Driver
Forklift drivers move pallets, load and unload trucks, and stack stock safely. Because the machine is a safety risk, employers normally ask for proof of training. Put these on your CV:
- Forklift operator certificate and expiry date
- Type of forklift you have driven (counterbalance, reach or stacker)
- Years of experience and the kind of warehouse
- Any incident-free safety record
If you also operate a bobcat, say so. Boardroom lists bobcat operators as a separate opening.
What to Attach
- A CV of no more than two pages
- A copy of your ID
- Your Matric certificate, if you have one
- Contact details for your last two employers
- Your forklift certificate (drivers)
