Drive with coastal rides

Now Hiring: Local Operator & Lead Driver Across BC

Coastal Rides is expanding across British Columbia — and we're looking for Local Operators / Lead Drivers to help build and strengthen service in communities across the province.

This is a flexible, local leadership role focused on improving ride availability, supporting drivers, and building community partnerships.

About the Role

This isn't a shift job. It's a ground-floor opportunity to help establish Coastal Rides in your community — driving when you want, while taking on a broader role in growing the service locally. The more the market grows, the more you earn.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Ensure reliable ride coverage in your area
  • Support driver recruitment, onboarding, and day-to-day questions
  • Act as the local point of contact for drivers in your community
  • Build relationships with hotels, local businesses, and community organizations
  • Promote Coastal Rides locally through social media, word-of-mouth, and partnerships
  • Provide on-the-ground feedback to improve service and systems

What You Bring

  • A valid BC Class 1, 2, or 4 driver’s licence and clean driver’s abstract
  • Excellent driving habits and a strong sense of responsibility
  • A positive attitude and genuine enjoyment of working with people
  • Strong communication and time-management skills
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (e.g., helping with luggage)
  • Flexibility and reliability — you show up when you say you will
  • Local knowledge of your community

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days

  • More rides completed, fewer missed trips
  • A small, reliable group of active drivers in place
  • New drivers onboarded and actively completing trips
  • Improved rider experience and repeat usage
  • Growing local awareness and partnerships

Compensation

  • 2% of all net fares generated in your area
  • +1% from drivers you onboard and mentor
  • Performance incentives can bring total earnings up to approximately 5%

Typical Earnings Potential: $4,000 – $8,000+/month when also driving on the platform. This role scales with the market — stronger service means more rides, and more rides means higher earnings.

Compensation varies by community — reach out to learn what's possible in your area.

This Role Works Best For Someone Who

  • Is well-connected in their local community
  • Takes initiative and follows through
  • Wants to build something locally, not just work shifts
  • Has a background in hospitality, tourism, transportation, or small business (helpful, but not required)

Why Drive with Coastal Rides?

  • Competitive pay + tips
  • Flexible and self-directed work
  • Grow your income as the market grows
  • Be part of building real transportation infrastructure in your community
  • Potential to expand into larger operational or fleet roles over time

Job Types: Full-time, Part-time
