Imperial Logistics Vacancies in South Africa: How to Apply in 2026

Imperial Logistics is one of South Africa's largest transport and warehousing employers, so its vacancies, especially for drivers, attract thousands of applicants. To apply, you submit your CV and licence through its official careers portal, now run as part of DP World, against a specific opening before the closing date. This guide covers the roles on offer, the driving codes in demand, and how to stand out.

What Imperial Logistics is and the work it offers

Imperial Logistics is a major logistics and supply chain business that moves goods across South Africa and beyond, now operating as part of DP World. It runs distribution centres, warehouses, and a large transport fleet, which means it constantly needs drivers, warehouse staff, and supply chain professionals.

Because logistics never stops, hiring is steady throughout the year, and there are real openings for both experienced drivers and people starting out in a warehouse.

Driver jobs: code 10 and code 14

The most searched Imperial roles are driving jobs. Demand is strongest for:

Code 10 (C1) drivers: medium heavy vehicles for distribution and delivery routes
Code 14 (EC) drivers: extra heavy and articulated trucks for long distance and bulk freight

Most driving posts require a valid licence for the code, a Professional Driving Permit (PrDP), and a clean record. Experience on distribution or long haul routes helps you stand out.

Where to find real vacancies

Always apply through the official Imperial Logistics or DP World careers portal, where genuine openings appear with a closing date. Fake driver job adverts are common on social media and messaging groups, so remember the rule that keeps you safe: a real employer never asks you to pay to apply or for a licence upgrade.

Stand out with a 30-second video application

Driver and warehouse roles attract many applicants, so a short video resume helps you get noticed. Keep it under a minute, say your name and city, the role and driving code you have, your PrDP and experience, and your availability. Speak clearly and look at the camera.

On CazVid you record one video profile and reuse it to apply to many roles, so recruiters can see your professionalism before they call. Browse openings and apply with a short video on the CazVid jobs page, or upload your video resume so employers can find you first.
