Code 14 Tanker Driver (Hazchem) – Permanent

Long hours, clean record, safe arrival every time: that is what a cross-border transport company in Mbombela pays for. 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. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
