About this role
Bird is hiring a Operations Partner - Calgary (Contract), full-time, on-site in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in the MICROMOBILITY sector.
Job Summary
The Operations Partner is a critical logistical role essential to Bird's success in Calgary. You will take responsibility for the logistics of the local fleet of e-scooters and e-bikes, ensuring they are charged, safe, and positioned correctly to meet the community's transportation needs.

You will have the flexibility to choose how you operate:

- Streamline operations by simply retrieving and transporting vehicles to our central warehouse.
This is a pay-per-task opportunity where earnings are directly tied to output. Based on a fleet volume of approximately 500 vehicles daily, this role offers an earning potential of $2500 per week, with the opportunity to earn significantly more based on your speed and performance.
Important Details About the Role:

- Maintenance & Quality: Perform light field checks to ensure vehicles are safe and environmentally friendly.

Must Haves
- Vehicle Access (Required): Must own or have consistent access to at least one large vehicle (van/truck) suitable for transporting multiple scooters/bikes. Fleet owners with multiple vehicles/drivers are encouraged to apply.
- Storage Space (Asset): Access to a garage, warehouse, or commercial facility with electricity is highly preferred for maximizing earnings (allows for overnight charging).
