Drivers

30th October 2023

Ages: 25+

We are looking for a category D driver (PCV + CPC) who is more than a driver! Specifically a good ‘all-rounder’, a flexible, adaptable, capable individual who is forward-thinking, self-motivated and with good planning and organisational skills. You must enjoy driving in all conditions, including snow, and having an interest in our other camp activities and sports is a huge advantage. This is a varied and interesting role with both driving and non-driving responsibilities.

Camp Suisse Ski is looking for a qualified, confident PCV Driver with a full Category D licence, CPC, and digital tachograph card, but who is more than just a driver. This is a dynamic, varied role for a capable all-rounder who enjoys being part of a busy camp environment. You’ll be an essential part of the team, delivering reliable and safe transportation services while also supporting camp operations in other ways.

If you’re organised, proactive, enjoy working with people, and love driving in the mountains, even in winter conditions, this could be the perfect seasonal opportunity. An interest in outdoor activities or interacting with campers is a bonus!

Location: The role is predominantly based at our main camp in Les Crosets, a stunning but remote mountain village in the Swiss Alps. Surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery, Les Crosets offers the perfect environment for us to operate our camp, having minimal local facilities in the summer, but a beautiful family-friendly ski resort in winter.
