  • Organizes the procurement of equipment and materials necessary for vehicle function. Oversight of equipment and material storage and disposal in compliance with NHMLAC and product manufacturer protocols.

This position has the following requirements:

  • A valid Class โ€œCโ€ California Driverโ€™s License. Experience hauling semi-tractor trailers with both local delivery and city driving experience are a plus.
  • Clean driving record and clearance through the Department of Motor Vehicles Pull Notice Program. No additional endorsements (e.g., hazardous materials) are required. No DUI convictions within the past ten years nor during employment at the Museum.
  • Must successfully complete a Clearinghouse Query through the Department of Transportation, and pass the employer's Drug and Alcohol test.
