Job Summary
Contract Type:
Sign up to view job details.
The Driver provides transport services for staff and visitors; the job holder may interact with key external
stakeholders in the course of performing her/his duties.
The Driver is required to think ahead in order to envision the best route, anticipate hazards, and to attend to the
needs of travellers.
Good levels of proactivity are required (including informing staff or visitors in advance that they have been assigned to transport them, after the schedule is sent out) for ensuring that vehicles are properly maintained and in good condition.
This position is not responsible for managing a budget but may be entrusted with transporting small cash sums and valuable freight with an approximate value of €35,000 at any one time.
The main challenge faced by the Driver is the poor quality of driving generally in Uganda and the high degree of hazards presented by road conditions and other drivers. This requires the job holder to:
· Demonstrate skill in ‘defensive driving’, anticipating hazards and taking swift evasive action
· Drive in accordance with the rules of the road and good practice in road/vehicle safety, even when other drivers do not comply
· Take responsibility for the safety, security and wellbeing of passengers; having the assertiveness to stop and address an issue as required.
· Remain discreet and desist from being distracted with passenger conversations.
Requirements
An O- level certificate
Valid driving licence for classes CM, DL & DM, with no penalties
A certificate in Defensive Driving is desirable
A certificate in Customer care is an added advantage
At least 3 years’ experience working as a driver, in relatively large organisations of similar complexity to PIU
