Transit Jobs NOW!!! Coast Mountain Bus is HIRING!

You can strike up individual "conversations" here with members, or "PM" others over on memebee

I try to keep my ear to the ground so as to hear what's happening in Training, but as far as I know they are continuing with classes every 2 weeks... Classes range in size from 6 to 16 or more...

I had heard a couple of months ago that there were roughly 2 or 3 per class not graduating/passing the 6 weeks training period...
Then CMBC decided to cut 30,000 hours out of Shuttle as of Sept 1, so there was a push on to try and get roughly 25 Shuttle Op's to apply to switch to Conventional before Sept 1...

There are always plenty of rumours around, and one of the latest is that all the Senior Op's that are still around from when Transit left BC Hydro (1981) are coming up on their magical 35 years of service, so there should "be a bunch" (100?) retiring shortly after 2015-16... But on the flip side, no one has to retire at 65 anymore...

There are roughly 3,000 Conventional Ops. And there will always be roughly 3,000 Conventional Ops... Whether guys retire, quit, die, or move into other positions, there will always be a need for new Operators...
It just boils down to how many and how often....

 

On a side note: Richmond based Canada Line posted late last week their need for 6 more FULL TIME CANADA LINE ATTENDANTS!

$25.18 an hour in training with a top rate near $30 an hour... Union: BCGEU...

BREAKING NEWS!

WEST VANCOUVER (BLUE BUSES) has a new posting up now for CASUAL COMMUNITY SHUTTLE OPERATORS!

www.civicinfo.bc.ca/16.asp is where I saw it, but also www.westvancouver.ca/ too

 

Hi folks! I got through the first round of cuts for the CMBC Customer Information Clerk, and wanted to know what the interview process was like, because that's the next step for me.

 

Not sure if she still pops in here, but JaneDOE went thru the process back in May/June and posted a couple of responses...

Good Luck!
If you didn't already know: The call centre is open 6:30am til 11:30pm every day of the year...
Located near Gateway Station...
I'd assume that you'll start out as "Casual" which generally means 2 assigned shifts per week and on call for up to 2 more as needed...
Rarely more than 30 hours a week...
Always movement in there, you'll have access to internal postings and usually "regular" status in short order....
