We are a U.S.-based, American-made and manufactured drone show company providing large-scale drone entertainment experiences across the country.

Qualifications

Required:

• Valid driver's license
• Ability to travel extensively throughout the United States

• Ability to lift and move equipment as needed
• Reliable transportation to our Metro Detroit facility

Preferred:

• Experience driving trucks, trailers, box trucks, or commercial vehicles
• Experience with towing
• Previous warehouse, logistics, event production, or transportation experienceCDL or willingness to obtain one, if required for assigned vehicles
• Mechanical or equipment-handling experience

What You'll Get

• Paid travel expenses
• Hotel accommodations while traveling
• Company-provided vehicles for work-related travel
• Opportunity to travel throughout the United States
• Hands-on experience in the growing drone entertainment industry
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge drone technology

The Right Fit

This position is perfect for someone who thinks "I actually enjoy driving" when they see a long road trip.

You may spend several days driving a truck and trailer across the country, arrive at an event, help unload and prepare equipment, support the team during the show, and then hit the road again. When you're back in Metro Detroit, you'll spend your time helping our warehouse and production teams prepare for the next round of shows.

If you're dependable, hands-on, comfortable traveling, and looking for a job where you're constantly doing something different, we'd love to hear from you.
