Anyone interested in exploring a rewarding and family-sustaining career as a MCTS bus driver or mechanic is invited to attend a virtual job fair on Tuesday, May 25 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The virtual job fair will also feature current MCTS employees who will help attendees experience a “Day in the Life” using real-life examples.
In addition to hiring bus drivers who are the face of the company on the streets of Milwaukee County, MCTS is looking for skilled mechanics who work behind-the-scenes to keep the entire fleet of buses clean, fueled, and operating safely. MCTS is excited to offer a $2,000 sign-on bonus to skilled mechanics who join the team!
These positions offer paid training, career growth, long-term job stability, and financial security for future retirement – while also giving applicants the chance to become a valued part of a company that is rooted in the community and known around the world for its Excellence.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, MCTS has kept the wheels turning, making sure people can get to work, school, appointments, and other important destinations. As an essential service that the community relies on, MCTS never laid off or furloughed any bus drivers or mechanics, and now officials are looking to add to the team!
The virtual job fair will be presented in English, on Zoom, Tuesday May 25 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Anyone interested in attending must register in advance here.
