The Building Company, through its BUCO Hammanskraal store in Gauteng, is looking for Drivers for 3500 kg vehicles to join its team on a permanent basis. This is a delivery role for drivers who take pride in safe, prompt and efficient service: the main purpose of the job is to provide a safe, prompt and efficient delivery service to all the store’s clients and to ensure that all items are delivered without breakages and shortage. The position carries reference 8022202502, and applications close on 28 November 2026.
About the company and the work
The employer is The Building Company, which trades through BUCO stores serving builders, contractors and home improvers across South Africa. BUCO Hammanskraal is a retail building materials outlet, and its drivers are the final link between the store and the customer, carrying building materials to sites and homes across the area. The work is physical and practical: loading, checking, driving and delivering, with a strong focus on looking after the goods, the vehicle and the customer relationship at every stop.
Role details and duties
Drivers are responsible for delivering goods to customers; ensuring the vehicle is neatly packed; preventing damages and breakages; supervising and assisting with loading; carrying out daily inspection checks; reporting on defects; maintaining the vehicle; supplying the correct quantities and supplies; reducing costs on vehicles; handling delivery note authorisations; collecting cash-on-delivery monies; and providing good customer service. Above all, drivers are expected to uphold and promote the company’s values and culture, whether dealing with a customer at the delivery point, a colleague in the yard, or a supervisor back at the store.
Requirements
Applicants need a Grade 12 certificate, a Code 10 (heavy vehicle) licence and a Code 8 (light vehicle, under 3500 kg) licence, and two years of relevant experience. The advert does not state an experience level label beyond the requirements above, so candidates should judge their fit on the stated licences and experience rather than on a seniority label.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24, where the closing date is given as 28 November 2026. Apply through the Apply button on this page, which opens the original advert. Be wary of anyone asking for payment in exchange for a job, and never share banking details or passwords with a recruiter. The application for this role is an external application, so it is completed through the original listing rather than on this site.
Practical tips
Lead with your licences and your delivery experience: state your Code 10 and Code 8 licences clearly, the size and type of vehicles you have driven, and the kind of goods you have delivered, especially building materials or other bulky loads. Mention your record on vehicle checks, defect reporting and cash-on-delivery handling, since those are all named duties in this role. If you know the Hammanskraal and greater Gauteng delivery areas, say so, and be ready to discuss how you plan a route, pack a load safely and handle a customer query at the delivery point.
How the process works
Applications go through the Careers24 listing to The Building Company, which reviews them against the stated requirements. Shortlisted candidates are then contacted for the next stage of the process, which may include licence and driving checks. If you have not heard back after the closing date, it is reasonable to assume that your application was not successful on this occasion, and to keep an eye out for similar BUCO driver vacancies, which are advertised regularly.
