Work-Force
This is a current vacancy. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Driver Assistant in Pretoria, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.
Overview
An experienced Driver Assistant is needed to support operations in Pretoria. The role forms part of how the business keeps its logistics jobs portfolio strong in Gauteng.
The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Driver Assistant taking on this position.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Driver Assistant 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.
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 Pretoria 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 Pretoria teams, and the new Driver Assistant will feel that from the first week.
Working in Pretoria
Working in Pretoria means a place minutes from the Sandton CBD, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Gauteng region, and the Pretoria office benefits from those long-standing connections.
Candidates should review the listed location, schedule and travel requirements before applying for this role in Pretoria, Gauteng.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Pretoria.

Our Commitment to Transformation
Inclusive recruitment is part of the organisation’s employment practices. Applicants are assessed on relevant qualifications, skills and experience for this role in Pretoria.
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.

On top of that, inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Pretoria.
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 Pretoria.
Beyond that, the Pretoria 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 Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
