The Driver will ensure that the Company objectives are achieved by providing a professional driving service. Please Note: This is a talent pool advert. This vacancy is not active; as we have alternative methods for sourcing Drivers. The purpose of this advert is to build a database for when we may need to actively recruit. Should you not hear from us in 2 working weeks, please consider your application as unsuccessful. We will keep your CV on file for future reference. Successful applicants will receive a full job description.   For Driver vacancies, we do not frequently advertise online. Unfortunately, there are currently several fraudulent advertisements circulating that are falsely using our company’s branding. We are working to address this issue, but it may take some time to resolve. Please note that we do not advertise vacancies on Facebook. We occasionally post on WhatsApp Groups but never for Driver vacancies. We mostly advertise on Pnet & LinkedIn. To keep your CV on record for any future opportunities, we would ask you to please register your profile on either Pnet or our Careers Page for future reference.
