DRIVER – Saager Aircool CC 23 views

You must hold a valid Namibian Professional Driving Permit (PrDP) appropriate for the vehicle class used, such as Code 2 for light commercial vehicles or Code 3 for larger vans or trucks. A clean traffic record and at least two years of verifiable driving experience in Namibia are typically required, along with a Class B driver’s licence as a minimum.

You’ll collect and deliver equipment, parts, and tools to job sites across Windhoek and nearby regions, often assisting technicians with loading/unloading. You may also maintain vehicle logs, perform basic pre- and post-trip inspections, and report mechanical issues promptly to supervisors — all in line with Namibian Road Traffic Regulations.

Punctuality, reliability, and respectful communication with clients and colleagues are highly valued, reflecting Namibia’s strong emphasis on personal reputation and ubuntu-based professionalism. Employers expect drivers to represent the company professionally on the road, including wearing uniforms and adhering to local norms around greetings and client interaction, especially in urban and semi-rural settings.

Experienced drivers may advance to roles such as Fleet Assistant, Transport Supervisor, or Logistics Coordinator — particularly if they gain familiarity with inventory systems or obtain short courses from institutions like NAMCOL or the Namibian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Some transition into technician support roles with additional technical training in HVAC systems.

Most formal employers provide at least 21 days of annual leave, statutory sick leave, and access to a medical aid scheme — though coverage level depends on the employer’s plan. Pension contributions are increasingly common under Namibia’s voluntary retirement savings framework, and some employers offer fuel allowances or vehicle maintenance support as part of the employment package.

Submit a clear CV with verified PrDP details, references from previous Namibian employers, and proof of licences via email or in person — many companies still prefer physical applications in Windhoek. Employers prioritise honesty about driving history, willingness to undergo background checks (including police clearance), and demonstrated knowledge of local routes, road conditions, and safety protocols relevant to Namibia’s terrain and weather.
