Lead Mover & Driver – College Students, Veterans, Skilled Trades encouraged to apply!

WARNING: This will be the best job post you read all day.

Actually, why don't you just go ahead and make it the only job post you read all day, mkaaaayy?

*sips coffee*

Here's the deal: We're a moving company. We pick up people's stuff and carry it from one place to a different place.

Sounds simple enough… but it turns out that to be REALLY GOOD movers (the only kind worth being, in our opinion) we need REALLY GOOD people for our Houston branch. People like you. ;)

And because really good people like you deserve to be paid well and treated with respect, we put together this pretty kickass compensation & benefits package:

FIRST, A WORD ABOUT "HOURLY PAY" IN THE MOVING INDUSTRY
Some moving companies advertise $25/hr but only pay you for "billable" time — meaning the hours you spend driving to jobs, loading trucks, and waiting between moves don't count.

Quick math: If you work an 8-hour day but only 6 hours are "billable," that "$25/hour" is actually $18.75. And it gets worse when overtime kicks in.

At Einstein, you're paid from clock-in to clock-out. Every. Single. Hour.

No asterisks, no funny math. When we tell you what you'll earn, we mean it. Now here's what that actually looks like:

YOUR MONEY (THE FUN PART)
Your total pay includes base hourly rate + performance bonuses + tips. Here's what that adds up to:

Copilots (During Training): $23–$25.50/hr total. Top performers earn more.
Leads (Post-Training): $25.50–$30.25/hr total. Leads move through 4 promotion tiers as they grow — your pay grows with you. Top performers earn more.

Both roles also get overtime rates and a $5/hr on-call bonus.

THE REST OF THE PACKAGE

• W2 Status (Not 1099): Full employee benefits including Workers' Comp, overtime protections, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being a real employee PLUS Einstein covers half of employment taxes (as a 1099 you are responsible for 100% of the taxes)
• Affordable Health Insurance including vision and dental, because your eyes and teeth are important
• Short Term Disability Benefits: Because sometimes life happens and your bills keep coming in even if you can't work
• 401K with 4% Match: It's cheesy, but we love helping you plan for your future
• Flexible Vacation: You're a grown-up. Just tell us when you'll be gone and enjoy yourself
• Paid Parental & Bereavement Leave: Because your family and community matter. 5 days paid parental leave to start, expanding to 10 days after one year. 2 days of bereavement leave.

In case you don't feel like doing the math, that all adds up to a "Hell Yeah".

FOUR MORE REASONS TO JOIN OUR FUN-LOVING CREW

• Flexible Schedule — Great for musicians, students, entrepreneurs, athletes, and anyone else who likes mixing it up.
• Ditch the Desk Job — Spend more time outside and stay in shape (or casually get ripped) with a job where every day is different.
• Advance Within the Company — 100% of our managers started as movers, and we're growing fast. We've made the Inc. 5000 list every year for the last seven years.
• Good People & Great Culture — There's a reason people don't want to leave once they start working here. From branch competitions to Legend of the Week shoutouts to company trips, we take recognizing great work seriously.

WHAT A TYPICAL DAY LOOKS LIKE
You'll show up, meet your crew, grab your truck, and head to the job. Some days you're loading up a studio apartment in 2 hours. Other days you're wrapping a 5-bedroom house with a massive book collection and sculpture garden. You'll problem-solve on the fly, work with your team, interact with customers, and yeah — you'll sweat. A lot. But you'll also laugh, build real friendships, and go home knowing you actually helped someone through one of the most stressful days of their life. It's more rewarding than you'd expect.

YOUR MUST-HAVES

• Ability to lift, carry, push and / or pull heavy objects and materials (up to 125 pounds overhead, 200 pounds independently, and 500 pounds in coordination with other team members) frequently throughout an 8+ hour day
• 21 years of being alive on this planet (so we can add you to our insurance)
• At least two years of personal driving experience with an acceptable driving record (no major violations in last 3 years)
• The ability to pass a criminal background check, physical and drug screen
• Excellent customer service skills, interest in learning new things, and motivation to be genuinely helpful
• Availability to work 3+ days a week, even better if you can work Thursday - Sunday (our busiest days = more hours & tips)
• Your own reliable transportation (a car, motorcycle, or scooter — not a bike or a bus pass)

YOUR NICE-TO-HAVES

• College degree or current enrollment (a bonus, definitely not required)
• Moving experience (more than just "exited the womb once")
• A friendly pet (so we can pet them at our next company picnic)

WHEN YOU'D START
Like, right now. We're growing fast (but mindfully), and looking to fill open positions with great people.

ONE LAST THING
This is a physically demanding job that requires hard work. No bones about it: you'll break a sweat every day. (On the plus side, you can go ahead and cancel your gym membership.)
If you love working with teammates who always have each other's backs, for a company that actually cares about treating its employees well — then you'll love working with Einstein Moving. Rated 4.9 stars across 8,000+ reviews. You can't fake that.
