The successful candidates will work as drivers at the AVBOB Repatriation Hub, which is currently based in Midrand.
The main purpose of the job is to transport human remains safely and on time from South Africa to specified locations in neighbouring countries.

AVBOB is a well-established organisation with more than 100 years of history. According to the vacancy information, the organisation places importance on employee development and recognising good performance.
The six successful candidates will have several responsibilities. Because the job involves long-distance and cross-border driving, applicants need to be comfortable spending many hours on the road.

The Driver role is not only about driving from one location to another.
