School Bus Driver Job in Pelling, Sikkim
Pelling School Transport Pvt. Ltd.
Are you a friendly, reliable driver who loves the hills and the thrill of steering a community’s daily journey? Pelling School Transport Pvt. Ltd., a trusted part of our small town’s life, is seeking a School Bus Driver to keep our students safe and smiling as they travel to and from school.
What a typical day looks like
Every morning, you’ll start by checking the bus—its brakes, lights, and seat belts—before pulling out to pick up students at the local school compound. Your route takes you through picturesque tea gardens, winding mountain roads, and quiet residential streets. After dropping the kids at the school, you spend the afternoon transporting them back home, keeping a careful eye on weather changes, traffic patterns, and any special requests from parents. Evenings are spent refueling, refilling fresh water for the kids, and performing a quick safety inspection before the bus rests for the night.
Team culture
Our drivers are the heart of our transport family. We hold regular team meetings over tea, where we share route tricks, safety tips, and a few laughs. We celebrate birthdays, community events, and the simple joy of a clean, punctual bus. Your voice matters—feedback is encouraged, and the best ideas are turned into improved practices.
Opportunities for growth
While the driver role is already a critical one, we’re committed to your personal advancement. Successful drivers can move into senior driver roles, mentor new hires, or transition into bus mechanic training or route planning. Each month, we offer a 60‑minute safety module, and we sponsor a local driver certification exam at no cost.
Key responsibilities with real examples
- Safely pick up and drop off up to 30 students while maintaining a 100% on‑time record.
- Conduct pre‑ride safety checks (brakes, seat belts, emergency exits) every morning and after any incident.
- Handle payment collection from parents and reconcile daily revenues.
- Report any incidents—accidents, medical emergencies, or traffic delays—to the school administration promptly.
- Communicate clearly with school staff and parents using our mobile app for real‑time updates.
Tools & equipment
• Reliable, fully licensed 7‑speed diesel school bus (with seat‑belt anchorage for all seats)
• GPS navigation and route‑planning software integrated into the bus’s onboard tablet
• Mobile phone (for communication with school and parents)
• Basic first‑aid kit and emergency supplies (water, spare tires)
Environment
All work is conducted outdoors in Pelling’s beautiful yet rugged terrain. You’ll spend most of your day driving along country roads, interacting with students, parents, and school officials, and ensuring a safe, comfortable ride for all. The office is a small, warm space in the school compound where you’ll spend your off‑routes hours logging your daily activities.
Ready to join a caring team, navigate our scenic routes, and make a difference in the lives of our children? Apply today and become the trusted driver our community loves.
