C/CE DRIVER POST – Oshikoto Transport 270 views

You would generally need a valid Namibian C or CE class driver's license, depending on the specific vehicle types operated, often accompanied by a Public Driving Permit (PDP). Relevant experience driving heavy-duty vehicles, especially long-haul or within specific regions like Oshikoto, is highly valued.

A C/CE Driver typically handles the safe and timely transportation of goods, which could include general freight, agricultural products, or construction materials, across various routes. Responsibilities also include pre-trip vehicle inspections, maintaining logbooks, and ensuring cargo security and adherence to road traffic regulations.

Namibian transport companies often emphasize punctuality, strict adherence to safety protocols, and responsible vehicle operation given the country's vast distances. Drivers are expected to be reliable, maintain their vehicles, and sometimes assist with basic loading/unloading or paperwork.

Benefits often include statutory leave entitlements such as annual leave and sick leave as per Namibian labour laws. Some employers may offer medical aid contributions, provident fund or pension schemes, and sometimes subsistence allowances for long-distance trips.

Experienced C/CE Drivers can progress to roles involving specialized cargo, supervisory positions for a fleet, or training new drivers. Developing strong safety records and route knowledge can open doors to more senior or management-support roles within the logistics sector.

Your application should include a detailed CV outlining your driving experience, license class, PDP, and any relevant training. Employers in Namibia highly value a clean driving record, mechanical aptitude, reliability, and strong communication skills for interacting with dispatch and clients.
