Role Overview

This is a hands-on, field-based role supporting the daily operations of a shared electric vehicle fleet in Seattle.

Operators are assigned to one of two shift blocks. Block A handles Move, Deploy, and Retrieval work using shared flatbed and pickup trucks. Block B handles battery Swaps using the operator’s own personal vehicle.

Across both blocks, you will keep vehicles clean, safely parked, and rider-ready, and represent the brand to the local community.

The work is active and outdoors, with a significant amount of driving throughout the day. It suits someone dependable who takes ownership and works well in a fast-paced operations environment.

Shift Blocks

Block A: 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM (8-hour shift), 4 operators

• Focus: Move, Deploy, and Retrieval. All three tasks require a flatbed or pickup truck and use the program’s shared vehicles.
• This block does not touch the warehouse or batteries, which is why it starts early.

Block B: 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM (7-hour shift), 4 operators

• Focus: Battery Swap, using each operator’s own personal vehicle (not the shared trucks or vans).
• Start and end times are fixed by the warehouse’s battery hours and are not flexible.

Warehouse and Battery Handling

• Warehouse: 547 S River St, Seattle, WA 98108.
• Battery pickup and drop-off is available 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, 7 days a week.
• No offsite battery storage is allowed at any time. All batteries must be returned to the warehouse before the end of the shift.

Vehicle Requirement (Mandatory)

• Every operator must have their own reliable, insured vehicle in good working condition. This is a hard requirement with no exceptions.
• Fuel is paid for by the program.
• Block B (Swap) operators use their personal vehicle for all battery work.
• Block A (Move, Deploy, Retrieval) operators use the program’s shared flatbed and pickup trucks. A shared truck assignment is in addition to the personal vehicle requirement, not a replacement for it.
• A valid driver’s license and a clean motor vehicle record (MVR) are required.
• Must be comfortable operating larger vehicles, including vans, pickups, and flatbed trucks, in an urban environment.

Key Responsibilities

Block A: Move, Deploy, Retrieval

• Deploy scooters and other shared electric vehicles at designated pins throughout the Seattle service area.

• Locate vehicles in the field and swap depleted batteries using your personal vehicle.

All Operators

• Inspect vehicles for cleanliness, safety, and rider readiness. Perform preventative maintenance and minor repairs.
• Address city requests involving stickers, reflectors, and vehicle placement within established SLAs.
• Patrol assigned zones on foot to correct parking and keep areas organized.
• Interact professionally with the public and assist customers encountered in the field.
• Stay in communication with the shift lead and operations team, and report recurring field issues.
• Follow all company safety, battery-handling, and vehicle-handling procedures.

Qualifications
