About Us:
The Landline Company (landlineco.com) is an innovative ground transportation company that connects airline passengers to major airports through premium motorcoach service in partnership with airlines including American Airlines, Sun Country, Delta, Jet Blue, and Air Canada.

We are launching service between Schulz–Sonoma County Airport and the San Francisco International Airport, allowing passengers to check in and transfer luggage seamlessly between our vehicles and partner flights.

The Role:

We're seeking Airport Escort Drivers (Ramp Drivers) to join our San Francisco International Airport team. In this role, you'll operate a vehicle to escort and support our motorcoaches traveling between Schulz–Sonoma County Airport and SFO, including operations within the airport's Airport Operations Area (AOA).

This is a hands-on, safety-critical role where you'll drive on the ramp, marshal and guide buses into position, and help coordinate vehicle movements in a busy airport environment. You'll always work as part of a team, typically two staff per vehicle, so you're never handling passenger operations alone. You'll also play a key customer-facing role: once a bus arrives, you and your teammate manage the full passenger drop-off from start to finish: unloading luggage from the motorcoach, staging bags for airline agents, and personally guiding travelers to the correct Airport entrance.

No prior aviation or security experience is required.
