Safari Driver Guide: POSITION FILLED: This is a great entry-level position for those who want to return to Alaska in future summers as a guide. Many of our current guide staff started out as Safari Driver Guides and then moved into guiding positions as they learned the appropriate skills and gained the required experience. We prefer applicants who have some experience driving large vehicles, and experience with group facilitation, customer service, and/or natural history interpretation is helpful as well. Each summer, we conduct a three-week long staff training session. Safari Driver Guides concentrate on driving skills for a week, and then join the rest of the staff for the rest of our comprehensive training sessions (continuing to focus on safe driving during the remainder of training). This summer's training session for drivers begins on May 6. By the end of training, Safari Driver Guides must hold a class "C" CDL license with a passenger endorsement (requires the passing of written and driving tests, being "checked-off" by AWA trainers, and passing a physical and drug-screen). From $9.00/hour.

Shuttle Driver: POSITION FILLED: Experience with general maintenance tasks, driving with trailers, and/or driving airporter vans or buses is preferred (an Alaska Class "C" CDL license is a plus). Responsibilities include guest pick-up and drop-offs at area airports, rafting and fishing shuttles, vehicle preventative maintenance, and camp maintenance tasks. From $8.00/hour.

Essential Requirements for Driver Positions:

• State of Alaska class "C" Commercial Driver License with a passenger endorsement (or equivalent), or the ability to obtain a class "C" license during staff training.
