Blue Ridge Therapeutic Wilderness is hiring part time Transport team members to assist in logistics operations. Transportation team members are a pivotal part of the student experience. The Transportation team and logistics support staff support the functioning of BRTW through transportation of supplies, personnel and students from point to point on an as needed basis. They further their support by helping to maintain the supplies (such as food and gear) between the office and the field. Hourly wages depend upon experience, with opportunities for mileage reimbursement for personal vehicle use and competitive bonuses for being on call. Hours are varied, and are occasionally at odd times when on-call.
