Job Description

Passengers in Ermelo trust a tour and charter company to get them there safely, and that trust is on your shoulders. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at a tour and charter company in Ermelo. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What your day looks like

  • Count passengers and make sure nobody stands beyond the limit
  • Check passenger tickets, tags or staff cards when boarding
  • Inspect the bus before each trip: tyres, brakes, doors, emergency exits
  • Handle breakdowns calmly and keep passengers safe until help arrives
  • Pick up and drop off schoolchildren only at approved points
  • Write the trip log with times, kilometres and fuel
  • Keep the bus clean inside and report any damage

Must-haves

  • Valid PrDP for passengers (P)
  • Medically fit
  • Punctual for very early starts
  • Clean driving and criminal record
  • Patient and friendly with passengers

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on mine or staff transport routes
  • Fluent in more than one language

What's in it for you

  • Paid passenger PrDP renewal
  • Split-shift allowance on staff transport routes
  • Company uniform
  • Tips and trip allowances on tour charters

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): references from previous bus or taxi work, licence card and passenger PrDP plus medical certificate if you have a recent one.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Talk about safety records in the interview. Bus companies want to hear about zero accidents and on-time runs.
  • Write "PrDP P valid until" with the date, right at the top of your CV. It is the first thing a bus operator checks.
