You will typically need a valid Namibian driving license relevant to the vehicle class (e.g., Code B for light vehicles, Code CE for heavy goods). A clean driving record and verifiable driving experience are often mandatory. Some roles may also require a valid Professional Driving Permit (PrDP).

Daily tasks often include vehicle pre-trip inspections, safe transportation and delivery of goods or personnel according to schedule, and accurate completion of delivery documentation. Drivers are also responsible for basic vehicle maintenance checks and reporting any mechanical issues promptly.

Punctuality, strong adherence to road safety regulations, and maintaining a professional demeanor are highly valued. Drivers are expected to be familiar with local road networks and conditions, often navigating both tarred and gravel roads safely and efficiently.

Dedicated drivers can often progress to roles such as Senior Driver, Route Supervisor, or potentially move into warehouse or logistics coordination positions with additional training. Gaining specialized licenses for hazardous materials or larger vehicles can also open new opportunities.

Full-time drivers typically receive benefits that include annual leave, sick leave, and contributions to the Social Security Commission (SSC) which covers maternity, sick, and death benefits. Some larger employers might also offer medical aid schemes, pension funds, or a Uniform and Allowance (UAN) depending on company policy.

Applications usually require a detailed CV, a cover letter, and copies of your driving license and relevant certifications. Employers typically look for a clean driving record, proven experience, good communication skills, and strong references.
