Bus Tire Service Team Leader

Bus Tire Service Team Leader

Make a difference every day by keeping buses safe, reliable, and on the road. We're looking for a hands on leader who thrives in a fast paced environment and enjoys both managing people and rolling up their sleeves to get the job done. As a Bus Tire Service Team Leader, you'll oversee our tire maintenance and service program for transit bus vehicles, guide a team of service technicians, and partner closely with transit personnel. This role is ideal for someone who likes variety—balancing leadership, administrative tasks, and hands on tire service. You'll be based at bus transit locations and need to remain flexible as this shift works early morning to support fleet operations when they need it most.

This position requires a valid driver's license and CDL. Training for CDL will be provided by the Company.
