DENVER — The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will hold a job fair later this month to hire new bus drivers.
RTD said the job fair will be held Thursday, March 28, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center at Chambers Road and Interstate 70.
The fair was originally scheduled for March 14, but was moved due to anticipated snow in Denver.
RTD said its fair is for bus operator candidates interested in full- or part-time opportunities. Candidates who attend can learn more about bus operator benefits and opportunities, including touring a RTD bus in the parking lot for a closer look during the event.
Candidates who are hired as bus operators will receive a $4,000 signing bonus, paid training, including CDL training, and guidance through the permit process.
Bus operator pay starts at $25.96 an hour.
Qualified candidates need to have a domestic driver’s license valid for at least two years.
Those who apply on site may receive a same day offer letter. Training will start as soon as April 15 or April 29.
