CDL B Lead Tour Operator & Community Ambassador
About The Position
We are bringing the "MRA Fun and Excitement" to the Midwest! We are seeking a professional, high-energy CDL B Lead Operator to pilot our brand-new educational and community-driven mobile tour. From the iconic skyline of the Windy City to the historic town squares of Southern Illinois, you will be the face of this tour. This isn’t just a "driving" gig—it’s an experiential role where you manage a high-tech, large-scale mobile environment that brings people together. If you take "OCD-level" pride in your vehicle and love the thrill of a new tour launch, we want you behind the wheel. The Illinois Mission: Navigate the State: You’ll be the master of the Illinois roads. One day you’re navigating the Magnificent Mile and the narrow streets of Lincoln Park; the next, you’re cruising down to Springfield, Peoria, or Carbondale. Be the Face of the Tour: You are the first person our clients and community partners see. You’ll provide a "white-glove" welcome to all guests. No teaching required—just top-tier hospitality and brand advocacy. The "Clean Bus" Standard: This bus is our flagship. You will be responsible for keeping it "showroom ready" inside and out. Organization is key—everything has a place, and you’ll ensure the interior remains a pristine, welcoming environment for our educational partners. Operational Excellence: Manage daily set-up and strike of the tour footprint. You’ll handle the logistics of a large-scale bus, ensuring all onboard systems are running smoothly for our visitors. Road Warrior Life: Enjoy the journey! This role involves statewide travel. When you’re away from home base, we’ve got you covered with premium hotel accommodations and a daily per diem.

- Meticulous Nature: You’re the type of person who notices a smudge on the window or a flyer out of place and fixes it immediately.
- Reliability: You’re ready and excited about the prospect of a full-time, salaried position with a stable, growing tour.
- Flexibility: Willingness to be on the road for several weeks at a time, representing the tour with professionalism 24/7.
