Delivery Driver

Posted recently. The organisation is recruiting a Delivery Driver for its Kathu operation. The role forms part of a wider logistics jobs portfolio across Northern Cape.

What This Role Involves

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

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Northern 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 Kathu also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Delivery Driver to step into the logistics jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

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 Kathu.

Importantly, the Kathu 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.

On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
