Histoire complète :
Monaco Tribune presents a new series dedicated to the jobs in the Principality, starting with the bus drivers of the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco (C.A.M). With 125 drivers currently on staff, the C.A.M is looking for new talent to join their teams. To become a bus driver in Monaco, one must have a professional title as a public transportation driver, with a three to six-month training program and a minimum age of 24 years old. In France, organizations such as AFTRAL (Apprendre et se Former en Transport et Logistique) and ECF (Examen de Conformité Fiscale) provide these professional titles. For Monégasques, only the D license is required. Experience in transportation (such as heavy trucks or tourism) and customer service (such as sales) is welcomed. The C.A.M prioritizes hiring Monégasques due to both legal regulations and geographical proximity, but they do receive applications from candidates outside the region. The hiring process follows the law n°629, starting with job postings for Monégasques, followed by consideration of other candidates whose professional experience matches the company’s expectations. A work permit and a clean criminal record are required for non-Monégasque employees desiring to work in Monaco. The recruitment process involves job postings on various platforms, participation in job fairs, and internal employee referrals. Interested candidates can apply by sending their CV and a cover letter to the Human Resources department. The working conditions for bus drivers in Monaco include a 35-hour workweek with an initial contract period as an intern followed by a permanent contract. The schedules are variable and include one day off per week. Public holidays and paid vacation days are standard benefits. The salary for bus drivers in Monaco is competitive, with lower social security charges compared to neighboring countries. The C.A.M has its own collective agreement and offers various benefits such as year-end bonuses, vacation bonuses, work clothing, proximity to work locations, and participation in mutual funds. The starting salary is around €2,300 net per month and can increase to €2,500 net after one year and €2,900 net after three years. In terms of skills, a bus driver in Monaco must enjoy driving safely, appreciate working in Monaco, have good customer service skills, handle pressure and stressful situations, be able to work independently while communicating with the team.
