Job description

Description

This is not a typical driving job.

If you take pride in being early, staying organized, and handling responsibility without being asked, this role will feel like a natural fit.

If you prefer minimal accountability, inconsistent schedules, or “just driving,” this is not the right role.

What This Role Actually Is

You are responsible for transporting decedents for autopsy services and ensuring every case moves forward safely, on time, and without issues.

This role sits at the center of operations. When you do your job well:

• Cases stay on schedule
• Funeral homes trust us
• The internal team can operate smoothly

You will:

• Complete scheduled pickups and drop-offs across the region
• Handle case transport with professionalism and care
• Communicate real-time updates to the team
• Take full ownership of company vehicles (maintenance, cleanliness, issues)
• Represent EPIARX in the field

You are not just driving—you are executing a critical part of the operation.

What You’ll Be Measured On

• On-time performance — transports completed as scheduled
• Safety — zero preventable driving or handling incidents
• Vehicle ownership — clean, maintained, and issues handled proactively
• Communication — clear, timely updates (Slack + direct coordination)
• Professionalism in the field — consistent, respectful interactions

What Success Looks Like

First 30 Days

• You understand transport protocols and expectations
• You communicate clearly and consistently
• You complete all assigned transports without issues

By 60 Days

• You fully own your schedule and responsibilities
• You proactively manage vehicle condition and maintenance
• Operations run smoothly without needing follow-up from others

By 90 Days

• You operate independently with full trust
• You treat the vehicle like it’s your own
• You prevent problems before they happen through communication and awareness

This Role Is NOT For You If:

• You are not consistently punctual
• You avoid communication or only respond when asked
• You are careless with vehicles or equipment
• You prefer low-responsibility or loosely structured work
• You are uncomfortable working in sensitive environments

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Experience in professional driving (required)
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of a vehicle, including maintenance, cleanliness, and proactive identification and escalation of issues
• Comfortable driving mid- to long-distance routes
• Experience using navigation tools (Waze, GPS, etc.)
• Ability to use Slack or similar communication tools
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Preferred

• Experience in medical transport, funeral services, or similar environments
• Customer-facing or field-based experience
• Basic mechanical awareness (identifying and escalating vehicle issues)

The Ideal Candidate

You are:

• Reliable — you show up early and follow through
• Responsible — you take ownership of your work and equipment
• Safety-focused — you drive carefully and think ahead
• Communicative — you update proactively and clearly
• Professional — you represent the company well in the field

You understand that consistency and accountability matter more than speed.
