Description
Unitrans is recruiting drivers for several transport operations across South Africa, with vacancies in Johannesburg, Kathu, Durban, Hammersdale and East London. The available Unitrans Jobs South Africa cover passenger transport, shunting, medium motor vehicles, ultra-heavy vehicles and petroleum tanker work. These positions suit experienced drivers, but the type of driving experience needed will depend on the vehicle and operation. A driver who has worked with buses will have a different background from someone applying for petroleum tanker or ultra-heavy vehicle work, so it is important to match your licence and recent experience to the specific vacancy.
The closing dates range from 13 to 21 August 2026, which means some applications need attention quickly. Before applying, check the licence code, professional driving requirements, safety standards and experience requested in the official Unitrans listing. Your CV should make it easy to see which vehicles you have driven, how long you worked in similar operations and whether your experience matches the position you are applying for.
