What the job is about
CBRE Excellerate needs a Distribution Assistant to help run the mailroom and delivery area at a busy facilities‑management office in Cape Town. You will be the person who moves letters, parcels and courier packages in the right direction, both inside the building and to other client sites. The work is short‑term, but it gives you a real feel for how large‑scale office logistics work.
Main duties you will do
- Sort and hand out mail every day, making sure letters go to the right desks and parcels reach the right places.
- Deal with registered mail and courier items, including any items that have no clear address.
- Support the loading bay by helping receive deliveries and send out outgoing packages.
- Carry supplies and internal mail to the different client buildings on the site.
- Assist with regional mail projects, such as special collections or bulk deliveries.
- Keep the mailroom organized, recording every item that comes in or goes out.
- Follow safety, health, environmental and quality rules so the workplace stays safe for everyone.
- Write short monthly reports and keep the required logs up to date.
- Help other departments when they need a hand with logistics or small errands.
What you need to have
- Matric (Grade 12) certificate – this is the basic education requirement.
- Good eye for detail – you must check that each piece of mail is handled correctly.
- Ability to work fast under pressure and still stay accurate.
- Clear communication skills so you can talk with coworkers and supervisors.
- Basic admin skills, like filling out simple forms and keeping records.
- Comfort with multitasking, because the mailroom can get busy quickly.
- Reliable and disciplined work habit – showing up on time and finishing tasks matters.
- Friendly customer‑service attitude, especially when helping internal teams.
- Problem‑solving mindset – if something goes wrong, you should try to fix it or ask for help.
- Knowledge of mail‑distribution processes is a plus, but not a must.
Why this role could be great for you
- Hands‑on experience with real‑world logistics in a corporate setting.
- Exposure to large‑scale facilities operations, giving you a solid foundation for future jobs in property management or supply‑chain work.
- Opportunity to develop organisational and communication skills that are valued in many career paths.
- A supportive team environment where supervisors guide you and feedback is given regularly.
