Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Driver in Mossel Bay, and we encourage applicants from across Western Cape to consider this opportunity.

What This Role Involves

An experienced Driver is needed to support operations in Mossel Bay. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in Western Cape.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Mossel Bay also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Reasonable working hours and respectful planning are part of how the role runs. The team values strong delivery, and load is balanced fairly across the logistics jobs group in Mossel Bay.

Your Workplace

Crucially, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Mossel Bay site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Practically speaking, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Western Cape.

Beyond that, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

What Your Day Looks Like

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.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Mossel Bay.

Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Beyond that, the Mossel Bay office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
