Job Description

Passengers in Pietermaritzburg trust a tour and charter company to get them there safely, and that trust is on your shoulders. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Pietermaritzburg. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Drive fixed routes and keep to the timetable
  • Follow speed limits strictly; buses are tracked
  • Check passenger tickets, tags or staff cards when boarding
  • Inspect the bus before each trip: tyres, brakes, doors, emergency exits
  • Give tourists a friendly welcome and help with luggage on charters

Must-haves

  • Valid Code 10 or Code 14 licence
  • At least 3 years of bus or taxi driving
  • Clean driving and criminal record
  • Medically fit
  • Punctual for very early starts
  • Valid PrDP for passengers (P)

Helpful, not essential

  • Fluent in more than one language
  • Tour coach experience with charters

What's in it for you

  • Split-shift allowance on staff transport routes
  • Paid passenger PrDP renewal
  • 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): medical certificate if you have a recent one, references from previous bus or taxi work plus licence card and passenger PrDP.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How to stand out

  • 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.
