Dynamic driver guide for early morning hot air balloon tours

1 week ago

Cairns, Queensland, Australia Hot Air Balloon Cairns Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

About us

Hot Air Balloon Cairns is the region's exclusive operator of hot air balloon flights and provides excellence in delivery of a unique, "bucket list" hot air ballooning experience. Customer service and quality of product form core business deliverables, and we encourage and support a dynamic, flexible team in achieving these goals.

About the role

Our driving team provides transfers from Cairns, the Northern Beaches and Port Douglas, to our launch sites around the Mareeba area. You will be the first face of the company as you meet and greet excited guests who are looking forward to their hot air balloon flight.

With a high level of initiative, you'll work independently to collect your passengers, and converge on the launch site where the team will meet. Around the balloons you'll work as part of an efficient, safety conscious team to prepare for take off.

Once the balloons are airborne, follow your ground crew to the landing site, and assist in disembarking guests, packing the balloon away, and eventually delivering your passengers to their on-going destinations.

As this is a casual position within an industry dependant on tourist seasons and numbers, it is recommended that applicants have alternative streams of income.

You'll need to be a reliable early riser, enjoy working outdoors, and be happy to get hands-on as part of a supportive, energetic team.
