Job description

Join the Voigt's Bus Family!

Voigt's Bus has been family-owned and operated since 1947.  At Voigt’s, we strive to find the best fit for you through a variety of options in the St. Cloud Region.

Why Join Us?

  • Cooperative Scheduling: Choose from AM and/or PM routes. Great opportunities for adding supplemental income to existing employment or varying schedule.
  • Community Impact: Help students to be transported safely to and from school, and engage in meaningful, positive interactions.
  • Seasonal Options: Commit to the school year (170 days) or take summers off. 
  • Diverse Opportunities: Start by assisting a driver and students for our contracted school districts.  Seeking More? Let us help you earn your CDL so you can operate a school bus and provide transportation for student activities, company shuttles, concerts, other special events, and school routes.

What To Expect:

  • Ensure the safe transportation of students by riding along with an assigned bus or van driver.
  • Engage positively with students and the community.  You are an important part of a student's day; creating an environment of positivity, inclusiveness, and a growth mindset is key.  
  • Flexible commitment: work year-round or take summers off.

Requirements:

  • Successful completion of a Pre-Employment Drug Test, along with Random Drug Testing, is mandatory.
  • A passable Pre-Employment Physical Assessment must be completed.
  • A passable state and/or federal background check. 


“Zero Tolerance Company”: All positions are required to complete a pre-employment drug test and random tests throughout employment. We choose to take an overly cautious approach due to the clientele we service and the large equipment we operate.
