Who We Want

SPEVCO is looking for a full-time, program-specific Class A CDL Tour Manager who will travel with this program full-time in the state of Alabama. As a CDL Tour Manager, you'll partner with SPEVCO's Event Operations team and a Brand Ambassador partner to produce exciting and engaging Workforce Development events at high schools around the state of Alabama. It is a requirement that you live in, and are a resident of, the state of Alabama. You must also hold a Class A CDL from the state of Alabama.

What You'll Be Doing

The fundamental goal of this position is to engage and excite high school students about skilled trade careers. But, a lot goes on behind the scenes to achieve this...

• We'll train you to set up this custom, double-expandable trailer and to operate all of the various interactive stations and simulators onboard the trailer
• You'll travel the state of Alabama, typically Monday - Friday
  • Specific schedules may vary from week to week, and between school districts
  • Breaks are built around the school schedule, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Summers
• As a licensed Class A CDL driver, you will drive the event Tractor/Trailer (what we call the "Mobile Workshop") to each event/school site to set up for the day
• Execute the day's event, and pack up for the next day's event in partnership with a Brand Ambassador
• You'll ensure the event trailer and all interactive exhibits and simulators are clean, safe, operational, and event-ready
• You'll be expected to assist in delivering the Be Pro Be Proud message (in partnership with the Brand Ambassador) to all of the students during these events and assist them with the interactive components of the trailer (approximately 25-30 students per class onboard the event trailer, generally about 150 students per day)
• Tear down the trailer and pack exhibits each day at the end of the event
• While tour stops are pre-planned, you'll need to work with your point of contact at each school/event site to ensure the day's events are properly planned for
• Full training will be provided, including safe operation of the event trailer, operation of all simulators and technology aboard the trailer, talking points, ELDs, and more

What You Get Paid

Compensation is a competitive salary and is dependent on your experience in our unique industry. In addition to salary, our Tour Managers receive a healthy per diem while on the road.

SPEVCO also offers a great host of benefits from Medical/Rx, Dental, and Vision, voluntary Disability and Life Insurance, FSA or HSA, 401k with match, PTO plan, and 9 paid holidays.
