An integral part of our guest service and tour logistics is our Shuttle Driver role. You will drive a 24 passenger bus, working closely with our Driver Guides, assisting with picking up or dropping off guests at their hotel for our various tours, along with other odd jobs to support the operations. .

A Shuttle shift usually starts early in the morning. It begins by pre-tripping your vehicle for the day, then determining your hotel pick up route working closely with our Operations team.

Arriving at each hotel, guests will be met with your friendly greeting. After gathering guests from various hotels, you will meet up with the Driver Guide and transfer guests to their tour coach, before beginning pickups for our next tour departure. An evening shuttle shift works much the same, except guests are dropped off at their hotel after their wonderful day on tour!

As a Shuttle Driver, you’ll need to be prepared for the little surprises that will pop up on a daily basis. Missing guests! Perhaps a vehicle rescue! Last-minute drives to Whistler! You are our eyes and ears out on the road and must be flexible for last-minute changes and requests.
