Fleet Administrator (Licences and Services)

Get off the road and into the control office at a courier operations centre in Roodepoort. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Roodepoort-based, with most of your time spent at a courier operations centre.

• Capture trip sheets, fuel and toll costs on the system
• Check driver hours so nobody drives too long without rest
• Update customers on delivery times and delays
• Book vehicle services, licence renewals and roadworthy tests
• Phone drivers when trucks stop too long or go off-route

• Clear on the phone with drivers and customers
• Calm and decisive when things go wrong
• Knowledge of South African road freight regulations
• Good with Excel and email

• Cellphone allowance for standby shifts
• Office-based work with a steady roster
• Growth to transport manager
• Training on the fleet and tracking systems

• If you drove trucks before, say so. Controllers who know the road earn quick respect from drivers.
• Give the fleet size and route types you handled, for example "40 trucks, long-haul and local". Hiring managers want scale.
