What the work may be like

Unitrans mining transport roles are high-intensity, high-income operations — Code 14 drivers on dedicated mining contracts earn well above general transport rates and often receive site accommodation. The bulk and tanker divisions operate under strict safety and compliance protocols for hazardous materials.

FMCG and retail distribution roles run to standard distribution centre patterns. The Grindrod group backing provides more financial stability than many independent logistics operators.
