With the growth of the Chippewa River Trolley Co., Volume One is pleased to announce we’re hiring a full-time operations/sales manager for all our trolley-related adventures around food & drink tours, history & cultural tours, nature & farm tours, theatrical & late-night tours, seasonal and holiday tours, private rentals, and more.
This hospitality and tourism-focused role will lead the effort on programming and partnerships, office and staff operations, sales and revenue management, and beyond, all in collaboration with ownership, a trolley field director, a team of drivers and hosts, and the full talents of Volume One’s creative staff in marketing, design, video, ticketing, and more.
It’s a role deeply engaged with and serving in promotion of our community’s rich history and culture, helping both visitors and locals enjoy truly authentic local experiences.
Drivers are the heart of our operation — outgoing and friendly folks focused on safe operation of our 22 passenger vehicle, and passionate about sharing the history and stories of our community. Drivers must have or acquire a current Fed Med Card and a Class C commercial drivers license with a passenger endorsement. Working together on training to secure these items is possible. Drivers may operate both public ticketed tours and private rentals.
Some tours with a higher level of production or interactivity require a two-person team, where the tour guide or performer is separate from the driver. These paid performers use a combination of written scripts and improvisation to create an engaging experience for the riders both on and off the trolley. Theatrical opportunities may include our Dark History tour, holiday tours, or other performative experiences.
While we’re taking applications for the above roles separately, more opportunities exist for individuals who can serve in both roles, such as driving a tour while also simultaneously narrating it. These combination roles are needed for some of our tours as well, making for even more opportunities.
Additionally, drivers/tour operators must be outgoing, friendly, and articulate individuals able to learn key operational details and concepts, while improvising and interacting with riders to create a fun and memorable experience for people of all ages. A passion for the Eau Claire community is of course a big plus!
Hourly pay for these roles starts comparatively with similar passenger-driving roles in the community, but due to the delightful experience we offer our passengers, it often comes with very lucrative tip income as well! Plus, enjoy all the fun perks and benefits of being a part of the Volume One & Local Store team with store discounts and more.
