Estoy traduciendo unas hojas de vida del personal de una empresa venezolana y entre los cargos aparecen mensajero y motorizado.
Mensajero lo traduje como "errand boy" [An errand boy is a boy or young man employed by a shop or business to take messages, deliver goods, etc]
En Venezuela, el motorizado es un mensajero que va en moto. Un motorizado tiende a hacer todo tipo de diligencias (pagar agua, luz, teléfono, entregar correspondencia, ir al banco, etc.).
¿Cómo traducirían "motorizado"?
Un millón de gracias

clerk and messenger
In my opinion, the errand boy is actually a clerk (there are many types and that should cover all general duties) whilst a "motorizado" is effectively a messenger as it has additional tasks than a courier.
