Code 14 Driver

This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Code 14 Driver in Colesberg, and we encourage applicants from across Northern Cape to consider this opportunity.

What This Role Involves

Notably, this Code 14 Driver role sits within the logistics jobs function in Colesberg. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Northern Cape.

Expect a structured first ninety days, with onboarding milestones, regular check-ins, and an early focus on getting comfortable with the systems and processes that underpin the Colesberg team.

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.

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.

The rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Crucially, the Colesberg 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.

Equal Opportunity

Beyond that, the organisation is committed to transformation and equal opportunity. Hiring is on merit, and applications are actively encouraged from women, youth, people with disabilities and other historically disadvantaged groups in line with the Employment Equity plan and B-BBEE objectives.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Northern Cape.

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.
