What We’re Looking For

  • Ability to commit to 100% travel for the duration of the assignment
  • Comfortable driving for extended periods, typically 8–12 hours per day
  • Able to work independently with limited supervision while following detailed instructions
  • Basic comfort using GPS, mobile devices, and simple equipment troubleshooting
  • Strong punctuality, consistency, and ability to follow daily route schedules
  • Careful, responsible, and safety-conscious approach to driving and equipment handling
