As a Utility Worker at Via, you will play a key role in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and functionality of our fully electric vehicle fleet. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who takes pride in keeping operations running smoothly through a wide range on the ground tasks.

• Daytime Utility Worker is primarily responsible for intraday vehicle charging, moving vehicles to support daytime operational needs, and other tasks to keep our fleet in top shape.

What You\'ll Do:

• Monitor vehicle charge levels and maneuver vehicles to chargers as needed
• Support overall fleet health by coordinating repairs and preventative maintenance; shuttling vehicles to/from vendors; inspecting vehicles for cleanliness, readiness and visual appearance and track out-of-service vehicles to optimize fleet supply

• Support the operations team with miscellaneous on-the-ground responsibilities, including maintaining and/or adjusting vehicle equipment and trade dress equipment, organizing workspaces, and assisting with local market initiatives

Who You Are:

• You take initiative, solve problems on the fly, and love getting the job done
• A dynamic team player who is willing to wear multiple hats and tackle projects of all types
• Detail-oriented enough to keep track of vehicle schedules, yet hands-on enough to jump into a repair
• Comfortable driving and maneuvering minivans and larger cutaway-sized vehicles
• Practical knowledge of basic vehicle mechanics and diagnostics is preferred (not mandatory)
• Must be at least 21 years old with a valid driver’s license
• Successful completion of a drug test, criminal background check, and motor vehicle records check is mandatory. This includes a clean Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) with no felonies, no DUI/DWI or reckless driving convictions, and no more than 2 speeding tickets
