What This Role Involves
The Code 14 Driver vacancy forms part of how the Port Shepstone branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the logistics jobs side of the business moving forward.

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 Port Shepstone teams, and the new Code 14 Driver will feel that from the first week.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Code 14 Driver is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in KwaZulu-Natal is consistently high and consistently fair.

By the end of the shift, the racks are tidy, the trucks are out, and the next inbound load is already on its way.
Crucially, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
