Transit Driver I & II; Year-Round

Interlochen Transit Drivers provide safe, reliable, and professional transportation for students, employees, guest artists, visitors, and other members of the Interlochen community. This is more than a traditional driving position, with assignments ranging from student appointments and airport transfers to supporting concerts and special events. Our Transit team operates a variety of vehicles, including cars, vans, SUVs, and buses, and we are seeking both CDL and non-CDL drivers to support the diverse transportation needs of our campus.

Drivers work scheduled shifts supporting Interlochen's year-round operations, with flexibility to accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, and special events. No two days are quite the same, making this an opportunity to play an important role in both the daily life of campus and some of Interlochen's most memorable events.
