Overview
We are recruiting six reliable, punctual and professional Shuttle Drivers to join the operations team of a private residence in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is a 6-month seasonal contract, employed directly by the household. The shuttles are regular-sized passenger vehicles and the drivers will be transporting up to 5 passengers at a time.
The goal of this role is to provide dependable shuttle transport for the household’s staff across several locations. You will be an important link in the chain that keeps the family’s operations running smoothly. The role is focused entirely on staff transport, not the family. You will run a dedicated shuttle between the main residence, a nearby office where local staff park, and a hotel where visiting flight crew stay. Occasionally you may be asked to take a team member out to run an errand.
You will report to the Director of Security and work as part of a rotating team of six drivers covering two shuttles throughout the day. This role suits a dependable, calm and courteous driver who takes pride in being on time, keeps a tidy vehicle, and is comfortable working early mornings, evenings and weekends on a set rota. Drivers who perform well may be invited back for future seasons.
Key Responsibilities
- Staff Shuttle Service: Safely transport household staff between the main residence, the staff parking and the hotel used by visiting flight crew, following set routes and pick-up times.
- Shift Coverage: Work your assigned shifts on a rotating schedule of 5 days on and 2 consecutive days off. Shifts may start early in the morning (from 5:00 AM), mid-morning or later in the day, finishing by 9:00 PM.
- Errands & Ad Hoc Trips: Occasionally drive a member of staff to run an errand when requested, always returning promptly to the shuttle schedule.
- Communication: Stay reachable at all times during your shift on a household-provided device. Staff will request pick-ups and communicate with you through the Signal app.
- Punctuality & Reliability: Make sure every pick-up and drop-off happens on time. Keep the Director of Security informed of any delays, traffic issues or changes to the plan.
- Vehicle Care: Keep the shuttle clean, tidy and presentable. Report any mechanical issues, damage or maintenance needs right away.
- Professional Conduct: Maintain a courteous, respectful and discreet manner with all staff, and follow the household’s security and confidentiality procedures.
Requirements
- Experience: Proven experience as a professional driver. We welcome all backgrounds, including chauffeur companies, high-end rideshare (such as Uber Black), corporate shuttle services and other professional driving roles. Experience with private households is an advantage.
- Driver’s License: Full, valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. Shuttles are regular-sized passenger vehicles, so no commercial license is required. Candidates relocating from another state must transfer to a California license before starting.
- Languages: English or Spanish. Good spoken English is ideal, but Spanish-speaking candidates are very welcome, as many staff members speak Spanish. Some English is an advantage.
- Availability: Available for the full 6-month contract and able to work the full rota, including early mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays, adapting to rotating shift times.
- Location: Must live locally in the San Francisco Bay Area, with reliable means of getting to the start of each shift.
- Technology: Comfortable using a smartphone and messaging apps.
- Presentation: Neat business-casual appearance. Jeans or chinos and polo shirts are fine. No graphic t-shirts or worn or damaged clothing.
- Attitude: Reliable, punctual, calm under pressure, discreet and service-minded, with a friendly and respectful approach.
