TSS offers ground transportation and fleet services to USAID, implementing partners, and other stakeholders. It also plans and coordinates travel and accommodation for consultants and full-time staff members. These arrangements span domestic travel within South Africa, journeys within the SADC region, and international trips. To ensure the seamless and professional execution of these services and uphold world-class standards for travelers, the Project Assistant will collaborate closely with the Project Assistant: fleet and Logistics, as well as with the program, operations, and finance teams.
