Commercial Driver/Welding Coach

Non-profit religious organization

We are a faith-based non-profit vocational training school dedicated to transforming lives. Established in 2011, ReIGNITE Hope’s mission is to equip men and women on the margins of society with valuable skills—in particular, welding that restore our students’ dignity, provide sustainable career opportunities, and reignite their hope for the future.

In addition to our headquarters and classroom in Gardena, CA, we operate three (3) mobile training centers (semi-trucks with trailers) that allow us to bring welding classes directly to communities. Most classes are in Los Angeles County, with occasional sessions in Orange County and Sacramento.

We are seeking a Class A Commercial Truck Driver to join our team. This role goes beyond driving—it’s an opportunity to invest in lives and be part of something deeply meaningful. You’ll ensure the safe and professional transport of our mobile training centers, and also play a role in coaching and mentoring students in welding once we have trained you and you have earned your American Welding Society certificate.

• Driving and equipment care.
• Maintain the trailer classrooms, ensure they are supplied.
• Safely transport mobile training centers to and from class locations.
• Perform required pre-trip inspections, follow all traffic laws, and secure cargo.
• Keep trucks and trailers clean and presentable inside and out.
• Schedule and perform routine maintenance; communicate equipment needs to supervisor.
• Maintain a clean driving record.

• Receive training to become a welding coach and earn at least one welding certification.
• Assist with classroom and trailer welding coaching when not driving.
• Mentor and encourage students, celebrating their progress to help build confidence and hope.

• Valid California Class A CDL with a clean driving record.
• Minimum 3 years’ experience driving semi-tractor trailers.
• No DUI/DWI convictions in the last 7 years.
• Certificate from an accredited CDL school.
• Commitment to maintaining safety and professionalism at all times.
• Commitment to upholding the Christian ethics of the ReIGNITE Hope mission.

Because we are a Christian non-profit, we seek someone who demonstrates spiritual maturity through a personal walk with Jesus Christ. The ideal candidate will:

• Show compassion and respect for people from all walks of life.
• Help nurture the spiritual and emotional well‑being of our students.
• Contribute to a loving, supportive environment where each student’s dignity and uniqueness is honored.
• Work collaboratively and respectfully with a team of talented professionals dedicated to serving others.

• Competitive pay and benefits.
• Unique opportunity to teach, mentor, and change lives.
• Gain valuable welding certifications while making a real difference in the lives of others.

Be part of a mission-driven team bringing hope and transformation to communities in need. If you want more than just a job—if you want to make a difference that lasts we’d love to hear from you.

If you’re someone who thrives on purpose-driven work and enjoys seeing people grow, this role with ReIGNITE Hope may speak directly to your heart. As a Commercial Driver and Welding Coach, you’ll be stepping into a hands‑on ministry that equips individuals with practical skills, renewed confidence, and a fresh start.
