This is a fundamental requirement for the role, ensuring that candidates can safely and legally operate the vehicles necessary for the position.

Job Overview
The Defence Force Security Command (DFSC) is hiring—and you’ll need to quote reference number DFSC/29/18 on your application. The pay starts at a solid R136,800 a year, a level four salary that won’t disappoint.
No fancy degrees required. A Grade 10, N1, N2, or equivalent NQFL 2 qualification gets you in the door. But here’s the kicker: a military driver’s license? That’s a game-changer. And you’ll need at least two to three years behind the wheel to prove you know the road.
This isn’t just any driving job. You’ll handle VIP transport for the DFSC with precision. Security isn’t optional—you’ll keep vehicles locked down and running smoothly. Messaging, dispatching, and admin duties round out the role. Think of it as driving with purpose, not just wheels.
Qualified candidates? You’re the ones who can communicate like pros, solve problems on the fly, and manage time without missing a beat. The Defence Force isn’t just looking for drivers—they’re looking for reliability. If you’re interested in other roles within the Department of Defence, consider applying for a finance clerk vacancy.
How and When to Apply
Apply for the Defence Driver vacancy through mail—send your materials to Defence Force Service Commission (DFSC), Private Bag X52, Pretoria, 0001. Or, if you prefer, drop them off at the DFSC Offices in the Leerdam Building, located at SAMHS Head Office on Kasteel Park, corner of Nossob and Jochemus streets in Erasmuskloof.
A complete application requires three things: the original, signed Z83 form—available at any Public Service office—the form must be dated too. Include a detailed resume outlining every qualification, training, competency, and skill you bring to the table. Finally, attach certified copies of your driver’s license, ID, and relevant credentials—no photocopies or faxes accepted.
Public Service employees aren’t the only ones invited to apply. Anyone can submit their materials, but know this: shortlisted candidates face a driving test and competency evaluation. Deadline is December 14, 2018. No exceptions.
Three months after that date, if you haven’t heard back, assume your application didn’t make the cut.
