What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles in hospitality or transport with reliable hours, opportunities for operational responsibility, and a supportive team culture where I can use my driving and customer-service skills.

I am a hands-on hospitality and transport professional with experience running my own shuttle service, working in restaurants, and managing daily operations at a car wash and takeaway. I have practical experience in guest transport, game-drive assistance, waitstaff duties, cash-ups, ordering, stock receiving, and weekly stock takes.

As an owner-operator of a shuttle service I managed guest logistics across Northern KwaZulu-Natal and provided safe, reliable transport; I also worked night and game drives and transported guests to boat cruises. In site-based roles I have overseen day-to-day tasks, supervised customer service, and carried out administrative duties like cash reconciliation and stock control.

I bring a solid work ethic, a code 10 driving license, vocational training in plant production (NQF4), and fluency in Afrikaans and English. I am adaptable, customer-focused, and ready to contribute to roles that require operational reliability, guest-facing service, and hands-on coordination.
