Job Description

Do you believe that the most important part of the school day is getting there safely? Hirebridge is seeking a School Bus Driver to join a leading Calgary childcare community. We aren’t just moving passengers; we are transporting the future. If you have the “grit” to handle a snow-covered morning commute and the “wit” to keep a bus full of energetic kids happy and safe, you are the driver our community needs.

In this role, you are a “Safety Guardian.” You understand that for parents, their child’s safety is their number one priority. Your goal is to provide a “sanctuary of security” from the moment the doors open to the moment they reach their destination. We look for “Integrity-first” professionals who take pride in their driving—those who see their role as a critical pillar of the education system.

Joining our team means joining a vibrant community that values your contribution and your family. We offer a competitive wage, a schedule that respects your work-life balance (no more weekends!), and unique perks like childcare discounts. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where you can escape the “usual routine” and make a meaningful impact. If you are a self-motivated driver with a commitment to “Excellence in Transit,” we invite you to apply and help us keep Calgary’s kids moving forward.

Competitive Compensation: Pay scales for their developers and support specialists are highly competitive with the North American SaaS market.
Comprehensive Health & Wellness: Includes medical, dental, and vision benefits, often supplemented by 401(k)/RRSP matching programs for eligible staff.
