TTC Hiring for Summer Positions NOW - Deadline Feb. 28th!

[Oreo_The_Cookie]

The Toronto Transit Commission employs an average of 250 students annually during the summer months from May 1, 2006 to September 2, 2006 (prior to the Labour Day weekend). Therefore, students are required to work the entire summer term.

The TTC offers a wide range of entry level and specialty positions (both labourer and clerical) in various locations throughout the City of Toronto. Most positions involve working in a unionized environment. Some positions may involve working outdoors, while others may require specific licences, skills or work experience. The following is just a few examples of the types of positions available (click on the job title to view position description):

Carhouse Helper (vehicle cleaner)
Operating Garageperson
Subway Janitor
Surface Janitor
Escalator Mechanic's Helper
Warehouse Person
Landscaping
Station Collector
There may also be some clerical positions related to Finance, Administration, Call Centre and Information Technology.

The TTC maintenance areas operate 24 hours per day 7 days a week. Therefore, students must be flexible and willing to work shift work, as 80% of the positions available involve working various shifts (nights, afternoons, etc.) and off days (including working weekends and holidays).

how old do you have to be to work? im only 15, do you need a SIN? some jerk stole my SIN card.

[leungly]

Yeah probably necessary to have a SIN card for payroll purposes. And umm just call or write a letter to get another one issued.

[crabby1997]

how old do you have to be to work? im only 15, do you need a SIN? some jerk stole my SIN card.

yes, you need a SIN card, and plus you are going to get ur police check and health check too. I am not sure about other departments but in Finance, the students they hired are all in university.

I did meet some ppl who said they were doing non-clerical work when they were still in highschool, but fore sure you have to be at least 16 to work.

[johnnyepy]

I am on probation does that mean I can't work at the TTC?

Not for me. How about a job that stimulates you mentally, where you gain experience that you can use later in life!

[keunganator]

[crabby1997]

those who worked as an accounting clerk, how much were u paid?

Just a little clarification for those who do plan on applying that the positions available, mentioned in the above post, are mainly for students...

Eligibility

To be considered for summer student employment, you must be:

* a full-time student, enrolled in full-time studies at a secondary or post-secondary institution; and
* returning to full-time studies in the Fall

You may be asked to provide proof that you meet these requirements.

Thanks man, I'm definitely gonna apply. How many references are required? I wanna punch my present manager for making me take out the trash each day I work while making minimum wage :mad:

[Blunt]

Anyone willing to be cleaners for the jumpers? :twisted:

[thezone]

Anyone willing to be cleaners for the jumpers? :twisted:

can't be that bad if they give you one of those crazy suits to wear like the ones you see when there is a chemical spill. Also there aren't that many jumpers at most probably 1 a week. The job is probably kind of like lifeguarding where you sit and do squat most of the time and then if your unlucky on your shift you'd have to clean up a mess.

[pakwan]

thanks for the post.. =)

While you're not cleaning up a mess you'd probably be in therapy....

They don't hire students to do that type of work.

I worked as a Subway Janitor last year, it was an alright job, met alot of other students. Most of the time we were chilling.

It seems all the jobs on TTC's site are "labour" jobs, not office like your previous job seems to be. How can I go about apply for office positions? TIA.

EDIT: Doh! I got super bored so decided to check out the app form, I can check office/etc hehe.. thanks still i guess

For proof of going back to school next year, is my course selection sheet sufficient?

[j1mmay]
