Reunion Shuttle Driver (Summer Employment)

Job Description

Be a part of our festive Reunion weekend when we welcome back thousands of our alumni and guests to Notre Dames campus! You will be successful in this role if you are a safe driver and someone who genuinely enjoys helping and chatting with people.

Key duties include:

Operating a minivan, sedan, or golf cart as required
Providing scheduled, routed, and on-demand shuttle services as directed
Receiving instructions from the Transportation Dispatcher via walkie talkie regarding specific pick-up locations for guests
Assisting guests as they board/exit vehicles and with their luggage, and engaging in friendly conversations

The Reunion Shuttle Drivers will work side-by-side with the Alumni Association staff and may be asked to fulfill other transportation-related duties.

To prepare you, we will conduct an orientation/general training session. Additionally, we will provide you with campus maps and designated driving routes and stops. We will train you on our walkie-talkie handheld radios that will be used as the primary method of communication for driver dispatch. We will also give you access to the Reunion event mobile app and other campus and event information so you are very familiar with Reunion and can assist our guests. This information will include the Reunion schedule (times and locations of main events) and answers to common guest questions. This position is not tip-eligible.

Location: Notre Dames campus and parking lots, and nearby hotels.

Schedule: This is a temporary position with work shifts from May 28 – June 1, 2025. Individuals must be available to work throughout the entire 4-day event in order to be considered. Individuals must also be flexible and able to work any shift assigned throughout the event.

Orientation: Wednesday, May 28: The University will provide a paid, detailed orientation session. In this session you will be given Reunion staff shirts and name badges along with dress code information.

Thursday, May 29: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 a.m. (will be assigned to a.m. or p.m. shift)
