Hello, New Bringer of Awesome.
Have you ever dreamt of being a purveyor of happiness? Simply Kimberley (aka Resort Tours and Transportation) is looking for one more awesome addition to our driving team starting May 2024. A Class 4, 2 or 1 Driver's License is required to join our team for a summer operator position.
Drivers > Why We're Hiring
Simply Kimberley launched in Dec 2013 providing hand-crafted vacation experiences to Kimberley, BC. At that time we had one little condo and three old-school vans plus a cargo trailer. Fast forward over the following 11 years and we're now running a fleet of five passenger vehicles; two mini-buses (24 and 15-passenger), two Ford Transit vans (14 and 11-passenger) and an Executive SUV.
​
A huge part of our success has been our hands-on connection to our client groups. Nothing makes our clients happier than the smiling face of a professional and personable driver when they step through the arrivals door or roll up to have their golf clubs loaded by one of our awesome drivers.
