Work-Force
An opportunity has arisen for a Code 14 Driver in Somerset West. Suitably qualified candidates from across Western Cape are invited to apply.
What This Role Involves
The organisation is investing in its Somerset West operation, and this Code 14 Driver position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Western Cape business.
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.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Code 14 Driver is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Western Cape is consistently high and consistently fair.
Your Future Here
This role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Somerset West have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Somerset West team member.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
A Typical Day
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 Somerset West.
Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
Diversity and Inclusion
Crucially, the organisation is committed to fair, merit-based recruitment and equal opportunity. Applications are assessed against the published role requirements in line with applicable employment law.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
