Elizabeth Gomez

UCLA students, are you ready to rev up your resume with a new job? Now's the time as UCLA Transportation is currently hiring and student employment opportunities at the transportation programs and parking services department come with perks. 

Competitive Pay

Working while in college is beneficial for your bank account, and starting at $16.00 an hour and up to $17.00 an hour, UCLA Transportation's pay rate is pretty great. That green can go a long way in helping to manage expenses. 

Flexible Schedule 

Dealing with work and school commitments is a balancing act but, UCLA Transportation makes it easy for its student employees to handle both by offering flexible shifts with weekday and weekend hours. Positions are available on-campus as well as remotely. Once UCLA officially reopens, hybrid schedules will be available, with gigs dividend between the Transportation office and telecommuting from home.

A Variety of Opportunities

Problem solvers with excellent verbal skills and Bruins fast on their feet who enjoy driving can apply here. The department is looking to place students on the Commuter & Parking Services and Parking Operations teams, train parking attendants and valets for the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, and hire van drivers for the campus evening transportation and paratransit service. Applicants take note: the van operator position has a special perk: priority registration for classes!

Valuable Experience 

When you work for UCLA Transportation, you are an ambassador for the University, welcoming other Bruins and visitors. In the different positions available at the department, students can gain experience performing administrative duties and assisting commuters, providing information to guests, and getting people safely to their campus destinations. Assignments will also find students working the parking areas for major campus events.

The know-how you'll hone on the job—communications and interpersonal skills, strategizing, time management, prioritization, developing sound judgment, and more—will guide you to success in your career beyond UCLA as well.

Bruins, look no further than one of the many student roles open with UCLA Transportation and apply online today.
