Ride Goat operates a private e-scooter fleet for a corporate campus in north St. Petersburg, and we're looking to add a reliable, hands-on Fleet Operations Manager to our small part-time team. This isn't a super technical job — but it rewards people who actually show up, follow through, and care about doing it right. Scooters that aren't rebalanced, charged, or kept clean become a problem fast, so dependability is the single most important thing we're hiring for. If you're handy enough to tinker, you can almost certainly do this job. You'll be working alongside a few other part-time operators, with a clear path to take on more responsibility for someone who proves they can run the day-to-day without being chased.
HOW THE SCHEDULE WORKS
This is a flexible, in-and-out role rather than a fixed shift: On-site at minimum 2 times per day, up to 3 times — typically split across early morning, midday, and/or late night. Each visit is short and focused (battery swaps, repositioning scooters, quick fleet check). Working another job at the same time is totally fine, as long as you can be on-site to handle battery swaps and rebalance the scooters during the day. Some work can be done remotely / off-site — for example, charging batteries at home, or doing repairs on parts that can be taken with you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Rebalance and relocate scooters to designated parking areas, keeping them organized and free of trash. Swap out the lowest-charged batteries each visit; charge them off-site and rotate them back into the fleet. Run quick mechanical checks on each scooter — throttle action, brake feel, basket condition, laptop bag attachment.
Light upkeep:
spray-painting baskets to cover rust, lubricating throttles, replacing zip-ties, and wiping vehicles down so they stay presentable. Use a few simple operations apps on a smartphone or tablet during shifts (we'll walk you through them).
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Reliable — shows up on time, every scheduled visit, without being reminded. Local — you live in or near north St. Petersburg, close to the campus (ideally the Gateway / 33716 area), so you can get on-site fast when the fleet needs attention. Quick response time is essential for this role. Reliable transportation — you have a dependable vehicle to make every scheduled visit on time and to move batteries and parts to and from the site. Flexible — can flex hours and days as the fleet's needs shift, and is open to trying new things as the operation evolves. A tinkerer — comfortable noticing small mechanical issues and handling basic fixes (zip-ties, lubricant, spray paint, hex keys, ratchet set — all provided). Specialty tools provided as needed. Self-directed — once trained, can run a visit on their own and use good judgment. Comfortable outdoors — Florida weather, walking the property, and dressing appropriately for the conditions. A smartphone capable of installing and running our shift and time-tracking apps. Bonus if you have an Android phone or Android tablet — pairs better with some of our equipment.
NICE TO HAVE
Prior experience with scooter, bike, or other light-vehicle fleet operations. Mechanical hobbyist background (bikes, scooters, small engines, e-bikes, etc.). Familiarity with St.
Petersburg / Pinellas
County.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
The work site is a smoke-free campus. Dress appropriately for outdoor work and Florida weather. Tools, supplies, and replacement parts are provided — including any specialty tools the role calls for.
WHY THIS ROLE
If you're dependable, like working with your hands, and want a flexible part-time gig where you're outside, moving around, and not chained to a desk — this is a good fit. It also slots well around another job. Strong performers will have the chance to take on a larger role as we grow the fleet operation.
