Coach Driver (Tours and Charters)

Early starts, clear routes and people depending on you: a school transport operator in Richards Bay is hiring bus drivers. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Richards Bay; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
