Position Overview
The Driver (Special Projects & Executive Support) plays a critical role in supporting the CEO and Chief Business Development Officer with dedicated transportation and project-related support. This role requires a highly dependable individual who combines excellent driving skills with the ability to think independently, conduct basic logistics tasks, and provide trusted support in the field. While this is a driver position, the role is intentionally broader than vehicle operation alone. The successful candidate will be expected to assist with errands, special project execution, and minor procurement support, while demonstrating discretion, maturity, and full compliance with safety and administrative systems.

• Keep assigned vehicle clean, roadworthy, serviced on time, licensed, and insured.
• Notify the supervisor at least 30 days in advance of license, insurance, or service due dates.

• Support special projects under direction from the CEO and CBDO, including pickups, deliveries, event logistics, and site visits.
• Carry out minor procurement and run time-sensitive errands with integrity and accurate documentation.
• Act as a reliable field contact representing the company where needed.

• Ensure full compliance with Zambian traffic laws, ECS transport policies, and road safety protocols.
• Handle police interactions legally, respectfully, and with proper documentation.
