JOIN OUR TEAM

UniteGPS is on the lookout for dynamic individuals who would be available to help staff a Maine based team of Student Transportation professionals. The Maine Department of Education expected to release an RFP in December 2023 expecting a launch of statewide school bus routing software on July 1. Ideal candidates are those enthusiastic about facilitating safe student transportation, comfortable with overnight travel for on-site work at schools, and skilled in guiding users from novices to advanced learners. A key part of this venture is the establishment of a Center for Transportation Excellence, a training facility we plan to open in Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, or South Portland. We are currently conducting interviews with candidates for roles that we would fill  depending upon our proposal's success in the RFP process. This presents a unique and fulfilling opportunity to contribute to the vital work our team undertakes, directly impacting the lives of students nationwide. Join us in our mission to make a significant difference in the daily educational journey of young learners across the country.
Positions are conditional upon UniteGPS being awarded the contract.
