Job Summary/Basic Function:

The Seamore Shuttle Driver is a student employee position within the Housing and Residential Life department at Lake Superior State University. Drivers are responsible for operating the Seamore Shuttle, a free transportation service available to currently enrolled LSSU students. The shuttle provides reliable transportation to key locations within the city limits of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, including grocery stores, pharmacies, shopping centers, and other essential service areas.

This position is critical to supporting student access to basic needs, especially for those without personal transportation. Drivers are expected to uphold the highest standards of safety, reliability, and customer service while ensuring that students arrive at their destinations on time and feel welcomed during their ride.

Drivers should be comfortable interacting with students from a wide range of backgrounds and be prepared to respond calmly and appropriately to minor conflicts, delays, or concerns during their shifts.

This role offers a valuable opportunity for LSSU students to build professional skills in time management, communication, problem-solving, and independent decision-making, all while contributing directly to student success and well-being.
