Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Code 14 Driver in Soweto, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
This Code 14 Driver role sits within the logistics jobs function in Soweto. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The Soweto operation runs on accurate work, steady relationships and a genuine respect for the people in the team.
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 Soweto.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Code 14 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.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Soweto teams, and the new Code 14 Driver will feel that from the first week.
Equal Opportunity
Practically speaking, 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.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Soweto.
In addition, the hiring organisation’s applicable employment-equity and inclusion practices will be explained in the final vacancy details for Gauteng.
Your Future Here
Importantly, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Soweto have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.
Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
Equally, internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Soweto have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Gauteng.
Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Soweto team member.
Meet the Team
You will join a tight-knit, collaborative team that knows the logistics jobs side of the business inside out. The Soweto group is a healthy mix of experienced operators and newer joiners, all of whom share a strong commitment to delivery and to one another.
Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.
Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
Beyond that, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Soweto will be explained during the hiring process.
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 Soweto.
Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
Crucially, the Soweto 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.
Working in Soweto

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Soweto site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
In addition, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Gauteng.
