The Department of Infrastructure Development in South Africa has recently announced a recruitment drive, offering positions for drivers, cleaners, and food service aids. This initiative comes as part of the government’s ongoing effort to strengthen public service delivery and maintain well-functioning facilities across the country. For many South Africans, these roles present a unique opportunity to secure stable employment in the public sector while gaining valuable work experience. With a total of 35 posts available, the department is specifically looking for reliable, hardworking, and dedicated individuals who can contribute positively to the efficient operation of various government projects and facilities. The importance of these roles cannot be overstated, as they ensure that government buildings, construction sites, and staff areas remain functional, safe, and well-managed, directly impacting the quality of service provided to citizens.
The driver positions require candidates to have a valid South African driver’s license, with preference given to those with prior experience operating light or heavy vehicles. Drivers play a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of the department, ensuring that personnel, equipment, and materials are transported safely and on time to different sites. In addition to driving responsibilities, candidates may also be expected to perform routine maintenance checks on vehicles, report any mechanical issues, and adhere strictly to traffic regulations.
Reliability, punctuality, and a strong sense of responsibility are key qualities for drivers, as they are entrusted with the safe movement of both people and resources. Some roles may involve extended hours or travel to remote sites, so physical fitness and the ability to manage long periods on the road are also important considerations. By providing transportation support, drivers contribute directly to the efficiency of infrastructure projects, making their work essential for the department’s overall success.
Cleaner positions within the Department of Infrastructure Development focus on maintaining the cleanliness, hygiene, and overall presentation of government facilities.

These positions offer stability and routine, making them suitable for individuals seeking consistent employment. Beyond maintaining a clean environment, cleaners help create a welcoming and safe space, which is critical for productivity and the effective delivery of public services. Their role, while sometimes overlooked, is foundational to the smooth operation of the department and the comfort of employees and visitors alike.
Food service aid positions involve supporting the preparation and service of meals in government cafeterias, staff kitchens, or facilities where food is provided to personnel. Candidates are expected to maintain high standards of hygiene, comply with food safety regulations, and work collaboratively with kitchen staff to ensure efficient meal service. Responsibilities include preparing and portioning food, serving meals, cleaning kitchen areas, and sanitizing utensils and equipment regularly. Strong teamwork skills, reliability, and the ability to follow supervision are essential for these roles.
Food service aids contribute to the wellbeing of employees by providing access to nutritious meals in a safe and sanitary environment. For many candidates, this role offers not only employment stability but also opportunities to develop skills in food preparation, hygiene, and workplace collaboration. Overall, working for the Department of Infrastructure Development in any of these positions provides a chance to build a career in public service, gain practical experience, and contribute meaningfully to the success and efficiency of government operations while earning a steady income.
