Code 14 Tanker Driver (Hazchem) – Fixed-Term

The road is your office with a fuel distribution fleet based in Welkom, and the load gets there because of you. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is in Welkom (Free State). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Report breakdowns, delays and incidents to the controller immediately
• Deliver to customers and get proof-of-delivery signed and stamped
