Some of our member canoe liveries are in need of dependable help. Many fringe benefits, river activities, and other exciting opportunities await the successful job applicant. Pay may be by salary or by the hour with weekend and holiday work required. Part time and full time seasonal openings should be applied for before or during early spring . If you fit in any of the categories described below, you should email or call the livery of your choice ( see Rental Info Page) to see if they have openings for that particular job description:
Bus Drivers
Applicant (18 and older ONLY) must be able to pass a physical exam and then take a 50
question general knowledge test with the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Applicant must then take a 25 question test on specific information
on "transporting passengers" safely. After passing these tests, applicant will be
required to take a road test in the vehicle he or she will be driving. Vehicle
will be supplied by the livery and a good driving record is a MUST!!
Desk Help
Good people skills required for this rewarding job. Applicant will be required to check in and check out livery clients and be able to take reservations. Computer and telephone skills can be learned but prior experience is helpful. Successful job applicants will need to learn basic outfitting techniques and vocabulary.
Mechanics
Prior expericence is necessary for this important phase of outfitting. Most liveries desperately need part time mechanics that can work (after hours sometimes) on buses, vans, trucks and other passenger vehicles. Welding and machine shop experience very helpful!
General Help
Liveries always need someone to load and unload canoes or other equipment, various landscaping duties and provide extra help in many other areas. Good job for teenagers wishing to gain experience for future employment opportunities.
Guides
Some liveries utilize guide service. Guides MUST have good canoe, river and people skills along with basic first aid and CPR. Many guides will work at the livery as bus drivers and basic instruction teachers when not actually guiding on river. This is a difficult and time demanding job.
