Coach Driver (Tours and Charters)

Steady shift work with a tour and charter company in Mbombela for drivers with a passenger PrDP. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Mbombela; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
