BUS DRIVER – City of Windhoek

Applicants need a valid Code EC driver's license and a Professional Driving Permit (PrDP) for passenger transport. A clean criminal record and proof of basic literacy (often Grade 10) are also typically required.

Drivers operate buses on scheduled routes, conduct pre‑trip vehicle inspections, and ensure passenger safety throughout the journey. They also adhere to timetables, handle fare collection if applicable, and report any incidents or mechanical issues to supervisors.

The role emphasizes punctuality, strict adherence to road safety regulations, and courteous customer service. Shift work, including weekends and public holidays, is common, and drivers are expected to maintain a professional attitude while working as part of a larger transport team.

Experienced drivers can advance to senior driver, route supervisor, or driver trainer positions, and may eventually move into transport management or planning roles. Progression usually depends on additional training, years of safe driving, and demonstrated leadership abilities.

Full‑time positions typically include annual leave, sick leave, medical aid contributions, and membership in the Government Institutions Pension Fund. Employees also accrue leave in accordance with Namibia’s Labour Act and may have access to wellness or training programs.

Applications are usually submitted online via the City of Windhoek careers portal or in person at the HR office, accompanied by certified copies of your ID, driver’s license, PrDP, and a detailed CV. Employers prioritize a clean driving record, strong communication skills, reliability, and a commitment to safety and service excellence.
