Code 14 Driver

Applications are warmly invited for a Code 14 Driver role based in Mossel Bay. We welcome candidates from every background across Western Cape who are ready to grow with us.

Overview

This Code 14 Driver role sits within the logistics jobs function in Mossel Bay. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across 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.

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 Mossel Bay.

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

Your Future Here

Equally, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in Mossel Bay have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Mossel Bay have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.

Training is a mix of formal courses, structured on-the-job learning and exposure to broader projects, all geared at building practical skills.
