Seattle’s King County Metro is launching a one-week recruiting effort for transit operators, marking the first time in decades that Metro has opened the door to any aspiring operator to apply for full-time work holding a current Class A or B Commercial Driver License without first starting with the agency as a part-time operator.
The agency’s posting is open from May 16 and 24, and allows full-time bus drivers from other areas of the country or professional drivers with Commercial Driver Licenses to apply for full-time work. Job candidates will need to have a passenger endorsement on their CDL and the air brake restriction removed. Training will be customized for external trainees, allowing the necessary time to familiarize them with the large variety of equipment in use at Metro and the multitude of Metro’s service routes.
