Quote:Resumes pour in for LRT driver positons
WATERLOO REGION — More than 3,000 people have applied to become an LRT driver in Waterloo Region.
The online posting, seeking 39 drivers who will earn $62,000-$65,000 a year, only went up two weeks ago.
There were so many applications, the job posting is closing sooner than originally planned.
"Due to an overhwhelming response, Keolis Grand River will be closing the request for LRT Operator applications as of Monday June 4th at 4 p.m." read an email from spokesperson Lauren Reaman.
Serious question: Is $62,000 - $65,000 a good pay for this?
1) You're dealing with members of the public.
2) By the looks of it, you might be getting physical with certain members of the public that need help getting on and off LRT.
3) RRSP -- no DB pension.
4) Shift premium? It doesn't mention it. I'm guessing this is the reason for the range? Or is $62-$65,000 because of "steps". As in, $62,000 Step 1, $63,000 Step 2....etc
I ask this, because, GRT drivers probably make close to the same, do the same type of work, but; they have OMERS. There would also be shift premium for afternoons/evening work and weekend work.
