What is a part time operator?

Part time operators are employees who manage or oversee the operation of machinery, equipment, or systems on a part-time basis, typically working fewer hours than full-time staff. Their responsibilities may include monitoring equipment, troubleshooting issues, performing routine maintenance, and ensuring safe and efficient operations. Part time operators are commonly employed in industries such as manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and telecommunications. This role allows for flexible scheduling, making it suitable for individuals balancing other commitments or seeking supplemental income.

What does a typical shift look like for a part time operator, and how flexible are the working hours?

A typical shift for a Part Time Operator often involves monitoring and operating equipment, performing routine checks, and responding to any alarms or issues that arise. The working hours are generally flexible, with shifts commonly scheduled during evenings, weekends, or overnight, depending on the needs of the facility. Part Time Operators may work independently or alongside a small team, and clear communication with full-time staff is essential to ensure smooth handovers and continuity. This flexibility can be ideal for students or those seeking supplementary income, though it may require occasional coverage during peak periods or staff absences.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time operator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Operator, you typically need basic mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with standard operating procedures, machinery controls, and safety protocols is often required, along with training on specific equipment used by the employer. Strong communication, reliability, and the ability to work independently are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills and qualities ensure safe, efficient operation and help maintain production quality and workplace safety.

Evansville, IN • On-site

$250/day

Part-time

Medical, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 14 days ago


Key responsibilities

  • Operate luxury motorcoaches on various types of trips including airport transfers, corporate travel, day tours, multi-day excursions, sports team transportation, weddings, private charters, and special events.

  • Maintain and ensure the safety and cleanliness of the vehicle, and respond to on-road issues with the support of the maintenance team.

  • Adhere to scheduled routes and timings, and represent the company professionally to ensure customer satisfaction.


Job description

You've earned your CDL. Now put it to work somewhere worth driving.


At Timi's Tours, our Motorcoach Operators don't just move people from point A to point B, they're the reason guests come back. You'll travel to premier destinations across the country, represent a company that's genuinely proud of its team, and do it all behind the wheel of a modern, well-maintained coach.


We're a small, family-owned operation, and that means you're never just a driver number. Management knows your name, dispatch has your back 24/7/365, and when you need time at home, we work with you to make it happen.


What You'll Be Doing

You'll operate luxury motorcoaches on a wide variety of runs, including:


  • Airport transfers and corporate travel
  • Day tours and multi-day excursions
  • Sports team transportation (collegiate, minor league, and high school)
  • Weddings, private charters, and special events

Every trip is different. That variety is part of what makes this job worth doing.

The Equipment

We operate a modern, late-model fleet; clean, safe, and well-maintained, every time. We take pride in what we put on the road, and we expect our operators to as well.


Our fleet:

Full-size: Prevost H3-45, Prevost X3-45, and MCI J4500
Mid-size: MCI J3500
Mini-coach: Temsa TS30


Our average fleet age is 2.5 years. We maintain every unit at our own in-house shops, and when something goes wrong on the road, our maintenance team is available 24/7; including mobile road service trucks that come to you.


You won't be stranded, and you won't be handed keys to something you're embarrassed to pull up in.


Schedule & Availability

Full-Time operators typically work 3–4 days per week, with the opportunity to pick up more when you want it.

Part-Time operators have the flexibility to accept or decline trips with no penalty. Work when it fits your life.
