Beep’s Shuttle Attendants are the face of the company. Their ultimate responsibility is to ensure the safety of our riders as well as the shared road users. Shuttle attendant’s daily role is to engage the community by educating and humanizing autonomous technology for increased ridership. A successful candidate will be comfortable engaging and interacting with passengers about the shuttle technology, Beep’s vision, and the communities in which we operate. While the autonomous shuttles operate consistently in driverless mode, Beep has implemented additional safety measures which will require manual operations of the shuttle by means of a handheld controller. This role will also offer the potential for advancement as we continue to grow and scale our business into new markets and areas.
