Delivery Driver

A Delivery Driver position is being filled in Butterworth. Suitable candidates from across Eastern Cape are invited to submit their applications for review.

About This Position

This Delivery Driver role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Butterworth. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the logistics jobs pipeline across Eastern Cape.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the logistics jobs team in Eastern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

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 Butterworth much easier.

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 Butterworth teams, and the new Delivery Driver will feel that from the first week.

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 Butterworth.

The Butterworth 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.

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

Your Workplace

In addition, the environment is operationally driven and physical at times, with shift-based work, strict safety standards and a strong focus on accuracy and on-time delivery.

Notably, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Notably, the role is intended to operate under the hiring organisation’s workplace conduct, health and safety policies in Eastern Cape.
