Work-Force
Whether you are a seasoned Code 14 Driver or stepping into the role for the first time, there is space for you in George. The team hires on merit and across communities in Western Cape.
About This Position
This Code 14 Driver role sits within the logistics jobs function in George. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Western Cape.
The role suits a candidate who values consistency and clear communication. The George 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 George.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the logistics jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in George much easier.
Beyond that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in George also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.
Your Future Here
Equally, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the logistics jobs team in George 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.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western 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.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in George.
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 George.
Equally, the George 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.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
