Transfer Driver

Mountain Express • Seasonal • Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France • from €330 / week • 3m ago

A "proper" driving job in the French Alps. Just driving, vehicle maintenance and snow clearance for vehicle access so no split duties cleaning chalets or stacking logs here!

Mountain Express are seeking professional, responsible, reliable drivers who genuinely enjoy driving (rather than seeing it just as a job) to join our friendly team.

We offer a very competitive package which includes a SINGLE ROOM in a large apartment in a prime location in Les Menuires Ski Resort (other packages available if arranging your own accommodation).

We understand your motive for seeking seasonal employment in the Alps is to experience the fun and flavours of life both on and off the slopes and we very much hope you will enjoy your time with us in the mountains however, this is a responsible position which requires a responsible attitude.

Mountain Express has built a reputation for providing an excellent, reliable and professional service and our drivers must ensure that this reputation is upheld and enhanced.

If you feel you have the right attitude and are ready to provide a professional service when you’re on duty and your main leisure focus when off duty is to ski or snowboard and enjoy a relaxed and friendly social scene rather than partying hard every night then we’d like to hear from you.

Duties:

Transfer Driving. A full job description including duties will be sent in reply to your application.

On a typical weekend you would normally be required to make two return journeys each day between resorts and airports which can easily total in the region of 500 kms (approx. 300 miles) per day on a busy Saturday and maybe occasionally the same on Sunday.

Hours will vary from 35 (standard hours) to 48 hours per week with overtime. If your motive to apply for this role is just to work as many hours as possible regardless of the legislation then please don't apply. There are plenty of other companies out there who are happy to overwork their drivers however we feel our salary package offers ample income to enjoy a more sensible work/life balance.

What we offer:
- French contract: 35hrs per week + overtime available
- Full training for the job role including winter driving and route training
- Your own single room in a shared accommodation
- Discounts on ski pass and use of local gym/sports centre.
- Opportunity to ski from just 100 metres from the doorstep of your accommodation
- Performance bonus
