JOIN OUR GROWING TEAM

Join the Cool Runnings team! We are looking drivers for the winter seasons of 2021/22 in the 3 Valleys and the Tarentaise valley of the French Alps.

We are looking for experienced professional drivers with full-time and part-time positions available. This is to transport our clients to and from airports and ski resorts in the French Alps. All positions run the length of the winter season; November/December 2021 until April 2022.

Our office is based in Val Thorens but we have drivers based in other resorts and down at the bottom of the mountains.

To become one of our team members and to join our family, we will need you to be organised, able to think on your own two feet and be extremely punctual. You will be required to work most weekends including unsociable hours and depending on part-time or full-time work, only work a maximum of 4 days on. You will be generally assigned your own vehicle (either a VW minibus or Mercedes Minibus) for the season, which needs to be clean inside and out read for our clients each time.

You need to be confident, careful and have an understanding of the road conditions at all times. You need to be friendly, with a “nothing is too much” attitude to give our clients a truly wonderful experience as one of your passengers and of Cool Runnings.
