We're looking for an Driver Recruitment Lead & Assistant Safety Manager who genuinely believes that great drivers make great communities. You'll lead our driver recruitment efforts from first conversation to first day behind the wheel, building relationships with prospective drivers and supporting them every step of the way. You'll conduct safety meetings that feel less like policy reviews and more like team huddles — because that's what they are. This role requires holding a Class B CDL with proper endorsements, so you'll know firsthand what it means to navigate a school bus route and to earn the trust of the families we serve. We provide in-house training if needed.
