The Driving Role

 

Our drivers are an integral part of the transport team as they will move a wide variety of high-profile clients from accommodation sites throughout London to the AELTC and other official venues. Responsibilities include:

  • Working as part of a large team of drivers to deliver a professional and timely courtesy car service to The Championships
  • Chauffeuring competitors, officials and accredited VIPs to and from The Championships, Qualifying and official practice venues from the first day of practice until the end of The Championships
  • Servicing arrivals and departures of competitors and invited guests from London airports and stations at the beginning and end of their stay
  • Working under the guidance and direction of the Fleet Management team
  • Providing an exceptional and discrete level of service to all passengers

Shift Patterns:

  • Schedules generally run as alternating AM & PM shifts e.g., PM Monday, AM Tuesday, PM Wednesday

  • You will be allocated days off throughout the tournament, with opportunity to take on more shifts should you wish

Minibus Shifts:

 

Minibus shifts are also available alongside our main fleet and contribute to our shuttle service. The role is less technology heavy, and shifts will either be only AM or only PM shifts with a minimum of two days off throughout the tournament. If you hold the correct minibus entitlement on your driving licence, and are interested in minibus shifts, you will be able to specify this on the application form.
