From the driver’s seat to the executive suite, VIA Metropolitan Transit offers more career paths than you might imagine.
When you think about a career in public transportation, chances are you picture someone behind the wheel of a bus. While operators are the heart of what we do, there’s a whole world of opportunity behind the scenes at VIA Metropolitan Transit.
This National Transit Career Day, we’re celebrating the people, passions and unexpected career journeys that keep San Antonio moving. At VIA, there’s no one-size-fits-all route to success.
Just ask some of our own team members. What does a former U.S. Army Captain, a cruise ship singer and a New York City bus driver have in common? They’ve built careers at VIA as a Special Projects Manager in Planning, a Director of Marketing and a Chief of Transit Police.
Different backgrounds. Different experiences. One shared mission: moving our community forward.
Your Skills Could Take You Somewhere Unexpected
Behind every bus on the road is an entire network of talented professionals working to make public transportation possible.
Are you a financial leader ready to make a community-wide impact? VIA is looking for a Vice President Fiscal Management/CFO to help guide the agency’s financial future. Or perhaps your passion is people. Opportunities like Director of Total Rewards, Employee Engagement Program Manager and Employee Relations Business Partner help shape the workplace experience for the thousands of people who keep VIA moving.
Maybe you’re more comfortable with technology than traffic. Our Application Developer, Technical Support Analyst I and Human Resources Technology Administrator roles offer opportunities to put your digital expertise to work in an industry that’s constantly evolving.
