Deputy Director Fleet Management Jobs in South Africa

The Department of Employment and Labour is looking for a Deputy Director for Fleet Management and Auxiliary Services at its Provincial Office in Gauteng. The post appears in DPSA Circular 39 of 2026 as Post 39/08, with reference number HR/4/4/10/02. It is a re-advertisement, so applicants who previously applied must re-apply.

About the company and the work

The Department of Employment and Labour is a national government department that oversees labour relations, employment services and related programmes across South Africa. Behind that public-facing work sits a large support operation: vehicles that staff use to reach workplaces and communities, offices that must be leased and maintained, and the buildings and services that keep a provincial office running. Fleet management and auxiliary services cover exactly that support side. The Deputy Director leads that sub-directorate in Gauteng, making sure vehicles are available and properly managed, support services run efficiently, and the department’s buildings and leases are looked after.

Role details and duties

The successful candidate will manage the provision of fleet management services within the province, monitor the effective provision of efficient auxiliary services within the province, and manage and maintain the building lease and the State-owned portfolio. The role also includes managing all the resources of the Sub-Directorate. Salary: R932 292 per annum, described in the advertisement as an all-inclusive salary package. Centre: Provincial Office, Gauteng.

Requirements

Only the requirements stated in the advertisement are listed here:

• A qualification at NQF level 6, as recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), in Public Management, Business Management, Public Administration, or Fleet or Transport Management
• Five years of experience, of which two years must be at supervisory level and three years must be functional experience in either fleet or transport management, auxiliary services, or facilities management or property management experience
• Knowledge of the Government Immovable Asset Management Act (GIAMA) of 2007, the Fleet Management Policy, Public Service Financial Management, departmental policies and procedures, the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), Public Service Regulations, Batho Pele Principles, the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), and the National Archives and Records Act (NAARA)

Where to find and apply safely

This vacancy appears in DPSA Circular 39 of 2026, in the Employment and Labour section. Applications can be posted to the Chief Director: Provincial Operations, PO Box 4560, Johannesburg, 2001, or hand delivered at 47 Empire Road, Parktown. For online applications, the advertisement gives the email address [email protected]. Use the Apply button on this page, which points to the original DPSA source document, and follow the application instructions given there. Quote reference number HR/4/4/10/02. Never pay anyone who offers to secure a government post for you.

Practical tips

Apply on the new Z83 form, which is the Public Service application form, and complete it in full, with an updated comprehensive CV attached. The advertisement notes that only an updated comprehensive CV and a completed, initialled and signed Z83 application form are required at application stage, and that only shortlisted candidates will be required to submit certified copies of qualifications and other related documents on or before the day of the interview. If you need clarity on the post, the advertisement lists enquiries as Ms H Rampou on (011) 853 0312. Because this is a re-advertisement, do not assume an earlier application still stands: the advertisement says applicants who previously applied must re-apply.

How the process works

Correspondence will be limited to shortlisted candidates only. If you have not been contacted within eight weeks of the closing date, the advertisement says you should accept that your application was unsuccessful. All shortlisted candidates, including those at senior management service level, will undertake two pre-entry assessments: one will be a practical exercise based on the post’s technical and generic requirements, and the other must be an integrity (ethical conduct) assessment, and selection panels will score both technical exercises as an additional criterion in the interview process. Successful candidates will be required to enter into an employment contract and a performance agreement. The department also reserves the right not to make any appointment to the advertised post.

Important information

This page is informational only. It does not replace the official DPSA advertisement, and it does not guarantee an appointment. The department states that it is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, and that employment equity targets will be taken into consideration during the selection process. The advertisement notes that African Males, Indian females and White males are encouraged to apply for this post. Always confirm the closing date, reference number and application instructions in the original DPSA document before applying.
