Stillingstittel: Professional driver for a small tourism company

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

We are looking for a professional driver for the winter season (October 2019 - March 2020). The job implies driving a minibus (Mercedes Sprinter, 16 passengers, minimum requirement licence class D1) during Wandering Owl tours.

The tours will occur mostly during night time (northern lights tours, evening shifts 5PM -- 2AM) and occasionally during day time (sightseeing tours, day shifts 9AM -- 3PM). The northern light tours usually consist in an initial drive to one or more variable locations (1-4h driving) followed by a time spent outdoors with the clients hopefully watching northern lights while having a meal around a campfire. The tour finishes with a drive back to the initial location (drop off of clients in Tromsø city centre & our headquarters). The driver needs to be experienced in driving a comparable vehicle on icy and snowy conditions.

Main responsibilities

• Driving the company's 17 seater minibus during Northern Lights tours (at night) or day tours accompanied by a guide.
• Assisting the guide in the practical tasks during the tour (lighting a campfire, helping the clients with the gear and walking on the terrain, serving a meal outdoors, loading/unloading material etc.).
• The driver will be responsible for the minibus maintenance to provide high quality and smooth tours to our guests (tanking processes and vehicle check after each tour). The driver will also be responsible for alerting the management if necessary actions have to be taken for important service maintenances.

Most of the tours will be northern lights sightings, away from Tromsø city lights. The destination of the tour is often in the countryside of Tromsø, but is weather dependent and so is the amount of driving time per shift. The person hired is expected to work with different additional tasks during the shift, when not driving, such as supporting the guide in the handling of clients and equipment. Expect to be outdoors in Arctic winter conditions for several hours during the shifts. For these reasons, this position requires specific permits, but also a set of additional skills.

Mandatory requirements & skills

• D1 driver licence or higher and additional qualification for transporting people
• Basic mechanical knowledge and handy skills
• A good level of spoken English and good communication skills
• Good physical condition, ability to be outdoors in Arctic winter conditions (temperatures below 0 C, possible snow, wind and other harsh weather)
• Flexibility in working tasks and practical abilities (e.g. serving food, sharing stories or light a campfire)

Additional desired skills

• Knowledge of the area around Tromsø
• Experience in guiding and photography will be highly valued
• Proficiency in the use of a computer and internet
• Proficiency in other languages is a plus

Please note that winter is our very high season and Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for our business, hence vacations in this period cannot be granted.

Your application must include:

• CV
• Motivation letter
• A digital copy of driver's license & required permits to the application
• References
