Tier 1 certified Driver - Automotive project

Project Overview We are looking for Tier 1-certified drivers to support a structured vehicle data collection project in cooperation with a global automotive manufacturer. The project involves driving a project vehicle on public roads and collecting real-world driving data under various road, traffic, lighting, and weather conditions. The collected data will support the development and improvement of future driver assistance technologies. All vehicles are manually operated by the driver at all times. This is an operational driving role focused on data collection, not engineering or vehicle performance testing.

Driving and Route Execution Safely operate a project vehicle on public roads, following predefined routes and assigned shift schedules. Manually drive the vehicle at all times. Cover urban, highway, and rural roads under different lighting and weather conditions. Comply with local traffic laws and project safety procedures. Data Collection Equipment Power on and monitor in-vehicle data collection systems. Clean sensors every 1–2 hours, as instructed. Monitor equipment status throughout each shift. Handle SSDs, HDDs, and other project equipment according to established procedures. Manual Tagging and Documentation Tag predefined driving scenarios according to project training. Complete daily logbooks and required vehicle check documentation. Report incidents, route deviations, and technical issues promptly. Compliance and Communication Follow instructions from the project coordinator. Maintain clear communication in English. Comply with confidentiality requirements and data-handling procedures.

Valid driving licence recognized in the assigned operating region. Valid Tier 1 certification or an alternative certification explicitly accepted by the client. Safe and responsible driving record. Ability to drive for approximately 6.5–7 hours per day while maintaining concentration. Willingness to work rotating shifts, including occasional night shifts. Availability for frequent business travel within the assigned region. Ability to follow detailed procedures and handle technical equipment responsibly. Basic professional English communication skills. Reliability, punctuality, and a safety-focused approach. Previous ADAS, autonomous driving, or engineering experience is not required. Project-specific training will be provided before data collection begins.

Location: Assigned operating region, with potential assignments across multiple locations. Schedule: 5 days per week, approximately 40 hours per week. Shifts: Two main shifts, with occasional night shifts depending on operational requirements. Driving time: Approximately 6.5–7 hours per working day. Travel: Frequent business travel within the assigned region is required. Initial training and test runs will take place before regular data collection. Occasional returns to the designated project hub may be required. Route logistics: Daily routes start and end at the assigned hub or designated location, according to project instructions. Contract: Independent Contractor Agreement Schedules are planned in advance and communicated by the project team. Shifts and route assignments may vary according to operational needs.

A project vehicle will be provided by the project partner. The vehicle will be registered and approved for public-road use in the assigned region. Vehicle insurance and operational coverage will be provided at the project level. Safety takes priority over data collection. Routes or shifts may be adjusted if weather, road, or other conditions are unsafe.
