I got to try out the rivian a few days ago. The build quality was great. It's way better than the CDVs, which don't last 20k miles. Turning radius could be better, mirrors are too small, and it should have a sliding door on both sides so it can compete with the stepvan. AWD is a game changer in Florida where 90% of dirt roads are sugar sand
congrats Stuart. this is a good fit for you. I'm sure your videos of the Rivian van had a lot to do with you getting the job. This is an entry level job that will open a lot of doors to a lifetime career for you. I'm so proud to know you.
I'm so happy to learn where you wound up after leaving Amazon's DSP's. Also happy to learn that you're really happy with this new job. You have the best attitude and energy as we can see from your videos from both of your former jobs. I'm hoping everything keeps coming up roses for you in the future. I look forward to more videos from your channel but I know that with a new job and lifestyle changes you may NOT want to do a weekly video any longer. That's fine with me, I know I will appreciate your videos whenever they arrive.
@@FridayAdventureClubFor Rivian, you mention there are vehicle delivery drivers? Do you mean a person loads and unloads them from a semi truck, or does the delivery driver drive the Rivian to the customers address?
Good for you ! You deserve this! What is strange is that I also applied at Rivian to be a Part Time Vehicle Delivery Specialist, but sadly they said no thanks. Oh well. Looking forward to your new videos!
Now that we finally have an insider at Rivian, you might throw in a good word for us in Europe and get them to start setting up shop here (more specifically Ireland!) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Congrats on the new job bud! If you can find out why Rivian still hasn’t expanded in Canada beyond Vancouver, that would be really cool! My friend has ordered an R1S close to 3 years ago in Montreal and… nothing. Pretty please!
First off congratulations! Second. It is a tiny shop. I have to go to Portland to get service in time :( I like in Gig Harbor, But they are taking care of me. Rivian is an amazing company so far!
Your TH-cam channel 100% got you the job, no doubt. Screen printing is completely unrelated and they honestly just looked at your channel and said, let’s hire him.
Can you make a video about what the interview process was like for this position? Or maybe just a quick reply? I have a zoom interview scheduled for tomorrow
Good luck!🤞 Depends on your site, but for me it was 1:1 with my manager, a site tour, and then some time to ask questions. If you have some examples of times you’ve worked to hit deadlines, went above and beyond on a project, communicated with a team, you’ll do great.
Hey! Maybe I’ll see you at the service center tomorrow. I am currently interviewing with Rivian in Bellevue. Could you give some insight onto the interview questions that were asked?
What up man! I’ll be there! Big stuff is communication, ability to work as a team, work ethic, desire to learn and grow. Some knowledge of automotive/EV’s is great but not necessary (I had very little coming in). Best of luck!
You take the bus to Bellevue?? I think the vehicle operations specialist at Rivian should get a company car to drive to work. That should be your first negotiation once you’ve been there a few months. Haha
@@FridayAdventureClub - no I’m from Mississippi. I was a contractor there for 2 weeks, the Plant there is sooo huge. I got lost so many times and everyone is friendly and helped me find my way.
Hey! I just applied and interviewed and meet the manager of the service center. Seems very similar to what you’ve shared. Curious what the offer scenario looked and felt like. How long, did you have a chance to negotiate compensation, onboarding… Any insight and tips for what may come next for me?
Best of luck! Honestly every site is different depending on manager and business needs. Personally I heard back pretty quick. Onboarding is 2 weeks of daily zoom calls and on-the-job training.
Awesome video, I’m actually applying for VOS at rivian miami and have an interview in a week from now. Any tips on how the initial interview went and what questions you were asked?
Ayeee! Good luck! Just have some answers prepped on what you value in a team, any projects you’ve led or worked on, and bonus points if you have any type of automotive/operations experience!
This video was a God send. I applied for this position at the Service center in Madison Heights Michigan. I do have a question though. I applied on October 15th and my application has been under review since then. The position is still available on their site. Do you recommend that i withdraw from it and re-apply or should I go with my first thought and go up there to see if theres someone I can talk to?
Good question! I’d definitely try following up via email. Possible it’s an expired listing that wasn’t removed for the site, also entirely possible they’re still processing applicants. Hope that helps!
Hi Stuart, just watched your video per youtube algorithms, I’m actually taking delivery this Saturday at 830AM last 4 Vin is 5672. Do you know who will check me in and the walk throughs? Thanks.
Hey Kevin! Appreciate it! I’m afraid your question falls outside the scope of my role, but one of our delivery specialists should be reaching out to you shortly if they haven’t already. Enjoy the new ride!
You got this! All depends on your manager. If you have some stories in your back pocket about times you met deadlines, worked with others to solve a problem, and took initiative that will be helpful!
@@FridayAdventureClub thank you man!!! I’m so excited. My last question is , are you part time? I know you said you work in morning until like 3:30. Would that be considered part time hours?
I'm full time! 10:30-7pm Tues-Sat now. There are part-time roles, and for VO those are typically 3 days a week max 29 hours, but depends on your state's guidelines for part vs. full time. Hope that helps!
Yes 5 days with available OT when busy! Pay varies by location, here’s a recent WA listing: www.google.com/search?q=rivian+vehicle+operations+specialist+bellevue&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari&safe=active#fpstate=tldetail&htidocid=oHH384YvIEeGQ51yAAAAAA%3D%3D&htiq=rivian%20vehicle%20operations%20specialist%20bellevue&htivrt=jobs
Congrats Stuart! This is awesome news! Pursuing your passion, open to change and confident enough to take a step has paid off! Your happiness and excitement are wonderful to see in this video! Keep it going and you'll continually reach new heights!
screw the Rivian van! The Dodge Ram Promaster CDV is where it's at! That van is a friekin *MASTERPIECE!* ... yeah not to be sour or anything, I just really think Utilimaster deserves to get the big contract from Amazon to supply them with a butt-load of their vans. Of course with "global warming" and all, the electric van is going to get the massive corporate contract, though. Pff. Whatever. I will let everyone else have the lame Rivian vans when my DSP gets them; Ram Promaster CDV for life. .... (Oh yeah, and I kinda like the Ford Transit CDV now, too. :O :O :O Never thought I'd say those words! Lol)
Sooo I just applied for vehicle operations specialist , just wandering if you can give some info of what this job actually is about if not having any experience related to ev’s be a problem ?, are you able tell me what this job pays?
driving Amazon's Electric van to actually working at Rivian. let's go!
YESSIR! Pretty sweet so far man! ⚡️
Lucky dawg!
So far so good! 🙌
Amazon definitely lost their best PR person, but Amazon's loss is Rivian's gain I guess 😀
Pretty sweet! Appreciate it! 🙌
Agreed!
100% agreed
Your "Rivian Amazon Van" workday reviews were among the first I ever watched. It is exciting to see your progression to now work at Rivian!
Appreciate you following along! Excited to start a new chapter, so far so good!
You hit the jackpot! Wayyyy better than Amazon! Im back as an "Amazon" driver 😎
So far so good! 🤩 Drive safe!
So proud of you man! Wish you all the best at Rivian :)
Congratulations! This is perfect for both of you.
Thanks Craig! So far so good!
Wow, that is not what I was expecting!
I'm happy for your new career!
Good luck!

The good vibes are palpable. Keep on making good stuff bro!
Appreciate it, thank you!🌝 More to come!
I went from Rivian stock investor to Rivian Addict in the last year.
I love Rivian and I wanna tell people that 2024 is the real beginning of Rivian ❤
congrats Stuart. this is a good fit for you. I'm sure your videos of the Rivian van had a lot to do with you getting the job. This is an entry level job that will open a lot of doors to a lifetime career for you. I'm so proud to know you.
Thanks Randy, yes great fit so far! Excited to have a foot in the door.
Congratulations Stuart. Very happy of you and proud of you.
Thank you sir! 🙌
Nice! Congratulations 🎉
Awesome, I am so happy for you! Have been watching you from beginning of your Amazon days! 🎉

YESSSIR so happy for you! Glad I get to keep watching you!
Yessir! You’ve seen it all! Appreciate it!🙌
Welcome to Rivian! I personally watched and learned so many things from your EDV videos, you are a great content creator :)
Thank you so much! Glad to be here! 😎
I'm looking forward to your next Adventure Video. Stay safe and God Bless.
Congrats!
You are awesome!
You are!
Good for you ! You deserve this! What is strange is that I also applied at Rivian to be a Part Time Vehicle Delivery Specialist, but sadly they said no thanks. Oh well. Looking forward to your new videos!
Appreciate it! Interesting, I actually applied to something similar at first too about a year back and didn't make it. Keep trying, you never know!
Congratulations! 🎉
Lot's changed! 😬 Appreciate it !🙌
Congrats! Welcome to the team fellow Rivianite 🎉
Woooooo! 🧭
Freaking awesome. Good choice. Wishing you the best and looking forward to your videos.
So pumped! Thank you! 🙌
Now that we finally have an insider at Rivian, you might throw in a good word for us in Europe and get them to start setting up shop here (more specifically Ireland!) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I may see you in a few months if our vehicle is shipped to your service center. Thanks for the fun and informative video!
Very cool, enjoy your new ride! 😎
thanks for sharing your story. congrats on the job. look forward to running into you at the Bellevue SC some day.
Appreciate it! So far so good! 😎
Congratulations! Happy for you. Love the Rivian products. Much success to you. You have a wealth of career growth opportunities at Rivian. 😁
Appreciate it Richard! Hoping so!
Awesome to hear! I've been working there for 2 years at the plant and normal It's great
Congrats man. I'm on to my 2nd interview with them in Houston. Looking forward to seeing what's next!
Woo! Best of luck! ⚡️
I love this! So happy for you! 🥳

Cool! You’re doing something similar to what I do at a local car dealership. My position is called “Porter”
Basically, yup!
Your TH-cam channel 100% got you the job, no doubt. Screen printing is completely unrelated and they honestly just looked at your channel and said, let’s hire him.

You take the bus to Bellevue?? I think the vehicle operations specialist at Rivian should get a company car to drive to work. That should be your first negotiation once you’ve been there a few months. Haha
I wish!😂 Maybe one day😎
Are you still working at Rivian
I worked at one in Bloomington, Illinois
Very cool! Near the factory?
@@FridayAdventureClub - no I’m from Mississippi. I was a contractor there for 2 weeks, the Plant there is sooo huge. I got lost so many times and everyone is friendly and helped me find my way.
It looks massive😱
@@FridayAdventureClub - it is bubba. And super clean on the inside. They give free drinks/water/chips to anyone at anytime as well.
I heard that insurance and on the rivian van is expensive and if it's damaged its takes a long time to get parts and Service at rivian
