We are hiring safety-focused Yard Drivers to move Guelph Transit buses within authorized garage and yard areas to support cleaning, servicing and daily operational readiness. This role follows established yard procedures and site safety standards while taking daily direction from Lead Hands and the Site Manager. The Yard Driver inspects, positions and moves assigned buses through designated service lines, wash facilities and parking areas, reports defects or hazards, and keeps accurate records. The role is limited to approved non-passenger vehicle movements and does not include public passenger service or scheduled route driving.
Key Responsibilities
Vehicle Movement & Service Flow

· Move authorized buses among parking locations, service lanes, wash facilities and final staging areas on approved routes and at site-posted speeds.
· Coordinate every movement with fuelers, cleaners and Lead Hands, and confirm that people, hoses and equipment are clear before proceeding.
· Position buses accurately for safe cleaning, washing, servicing and parking, keeping clearance from structures, equipment and other buses.
· Follow procedures for parking brakes, gear selection, shutdown, key control and secure final parking.
Safe Driving & Conduct
· Use defensive-driving techniques, and use mirrors, cameras or spotters as directed.
· Stop immediately and ask for direction when lanes are blocked, clearance is uncertain, pedestrians enter the travel path or a manoeuvre can’t be done safely.
· Follow Guelph Transit yard rules, traffic markings, reversing restrictions, pedestrian controls and Fnyx safe-driving policies.
· Operate only the buses you are licensed, evaluated and approved to drive.
· Keep your licence and endorsements valid, and report any restriction, suspension or change in legal driving status immediately.

· Do not use charging, fuelling or high-voltage equipment without separate training and authorization.
Documentation & Communication
· Report defects, unsafe vehicle conditions, spills, collisions, property contact and near misses to the Lead Hand or Site Manager right away, and make the required system entries.
· Record bus numbers, odometer readings (where requested) and servicing status accurately. Do not estimate or change readings.
· Take part in shift briefings, assessments and safety refreshers.
· Communicate clearly with authorized Guelph Transit and Fnyx personnel.
