“If you’re looking for a rewarding career with a chance to influence our next generation of students, Union is the place for you,” said Union Superintendent Dr. John Federline. “There’s just nothing like our Redhawks culture, and bus drivers and mechanics are an integral part of our team. We take our mission of ‘100 Percent Graduation, College and Career-Ready’ very seriously. Every employee at Union plays a role in helping our students achieve that mission, and that includes our front-line bus drivers.”

----------Bus Drivers Needed----------

Every year, more than 10,000 students ride Union buses on a regular basis. Every day, 73 bus drivers complete 360 routes, transporting students to and from school.

For mechanics, the pay ranges from $20.11/hour to $33.52/hour, depending on experience. Union counts all years of experience for mechanics and bus drivers.

Drivers must have a CDL and meet other requirements. Applicants should bring their resume with them to the Career Fair. Applicants may call 918-357-7063 with questions or apply online now at www.unionps.org/careers .

“Our bus drivers play a critical role at Union, as they are often the first face of the district that students see in the morning and the last one at night,” said Rob Harris, director of Transportation at Union. “Time and time again, we hear from our students about bus drivers who have been a positive influence in their lives. Many of them motivate and cheer on our kids, so it’s a fun and rewarding job.”

The employment fair will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the UMAC. The event is open to the public. There is no cost to attend.
