The Role
This Code 14 Driver role sits within the logistics jobs function in Richards Bay. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across KwaZulu-Natal.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Richards Bay operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.

Day in the Life
Your day kicks off in the yard or at the dock, checking schedules, briefing your team and lining up the day’s priorities. You move between receiving, picking, dispatch and the WMS, keeping a close eye on accuracy and time slots. There are constant conversations — with drivers, controllers, customers and the warehouse floor — and the better you communicate, the smoother things run. By the end of the shift, the racks are tidy, the trucks are out, and the next inbound load is already on its way.
Practically speaking, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Richards Bay.
