Mover Jobs Dublin With Get Cracking
A mover, sometimes referred to as a removal porter, works as part of the crew responsible for safely moving customers’ belongings from one location to another.
Depending on the job, your duties may include:
- Loading and unloading removal vehicles
- Carrying furniture and moving boxes
- Protecting furniture before transport
- Helping to pack household or office belongings
- Using moving equipment safely
- Assisting with furniture dismantling and reassembly
- Following customer inventories and job instructions
- Preparing goods for storage
- Assisting drivers and removal foremen
- Keeping moving equipment and vehicles organised
- Providing professional customer service
What Does a Removal Mover Do?
Professional moving involves much more than carrying boxes.
Our crews work inside customers’ homes, apartments, offices and commercial premises, so movers need to work carefully and respectfully.
A normal working day can involve several different tasks depending on the size and type of move.
You could begin the day protecting furniture in a Dublin house, load the removal vehicle, travel to the new property and then unload and position the furniture for the customer.
On another job, you may help pack an office, move equipment into storage or prepare household goods for an international relocation.
What We Look for in a Mover / Porter
Previous removals experience can be useful, but attitude and reliability are also extremely important.
Applicants should be:
- Reliable and punctual
- Comfortable with physically active work
- Professional when dealing with customers
- Careful when handling furniture and personal belongings
- Able to work effectively as part of a team
- Organised
- Able to follow instructions
- Comfortable working in different properties and environments
- Able to manage time effectively
- Prepared to learn professional moving techniques
Physical Nature of Removal Work
A mover / porter position is physically active.
The work can involve lifting, carrying and moving furniture, cartons and other household or commercial belongings.
Properties can also have:
- Stairs
- Narrow hallways
- Lifts
- Long walking distances
- Basements
- Underground car parks
- Restricted vehicle access
Applicants should therefore be comfortable with physical work throughout the working day.
Manual Handling
Safe manual handling is an important part of professional removals work.
Appropriate manual-handling training is required for the role.
Movers are expected to follow safe working procedures and use suitable moving equipment rather than taking unnecessary risks when handling heavy or awkward items.
Specific training and certification requirements will be confirmed during the recruitment process.
Furniture Handling
Customers trust a removals company with furniture and belongings that may be valuable or personally important.
Movers must therefore handle customers’ property carefully.
This can involve:
- Using furniture blankets
- Protecting surfaces
- Wrapping suitable furniture
- Handling cartons correctly
- Protecting doors and property where appropriate
- Using moving equipment
- Loading furniture carefully into the vehicle
Loading and Unloading Removal Vehicles
Correct loading is an important part of the removals process.
Movers work with the driver and foreman to organise furniture and cartons inside the vehicle.
The aim is to use the available space efficiently while helping to keep the customer’s belongings appropriately protected during transport.
Experience loading removal vans or trucks is useful, but movers can develop these skills through practical experience and training.
Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Some furniture cannot be moved safely through doors, stairways or corridors without being dismantled first.
Depending on the agreed service and your experience, you may assist with dismantling and reassembling standard household furniture such as:
- Bed frames
- Tables
- Desks
- Basic shelving
- Other suitable household furniture
Any specialist or complicated furniture should be identified and handled appropriately.
Professional Packing Work
Some mover jobs include professional packing as part of the customer’s removal service.
This may involve:
- Packing household items into cartons
- Wrapping fragile belongings
- Packing kitchens and glassware
- Protecting pictures and mirrors
- Preparing furniture for transport
- Labelling moving boxes
- Preparing belongings for storage
- Preparing suitable items for international transport

Much of the work carried out by our moving crews involves residential customers.
You may work on:
- House removals
- Apartment removals
- Student moves
- Storage collections
- Storage deliveries

Every property is different, so movers need to adapt to different access conditions and customer requirements.

Commercial moving may involve:
- Office desks
- Office chairs
- Filing cabinets
- Crates

- Commercial contents
Business relocations can require careful organisation because companies often need to minimise disruption to their operations.

Storage Work

Movers may therefore assist with:
- Storage collections
- Storage deliveries
- Moving goods within warehouse areas
- Preparing furniture for storage
- Organising cartons and furniture
Learn more about Get Cracking storage services.

Movers are expected to:
- Be polite and professional
- Follow the agreed moving instructions
- Treat customers’ property with respect
- Communicate clearly with the foreman and other crew members
- Report any problems promptly
Teamwork on a Removal Crew
Removal work depends heavily on teamwork.
A typical crew may include a foreman, driver and one or more movers depending on the size of the job.
Everyone needs to communicate and work together when:
- Protecting furniture
- Carrying large items
- Loading the vehicle
- Using moving equipment
- Following inventories
- Unloading at the destination
A good mover should be willing to help the team complete the job safely and efficiently.
