The company culture promotes growth and offers clear opportunities for employees to develop new skills and ascend in their career paths within the organization.

This current opening is for the role of Delivery Driver at the Knoxville, TN location situated at 6718 Papermill Dr. This role offers an hourly compensation structure that includes a base rate while making deliveries and a separate hourly wage for in-shop work between deliveries. Drivers keep all tips and receive mileage reimbursement, with both payments disbursed daily.

The Delivery Driver's main responsibility is to deliver sandwiches to customers within the designated delivery area safely, courteously, and efficiently. Drivers inspect all products against quality and accuracy standards before delivery to maintain the highest customer satisfaction.

This dual role keeps the workday varied and encourages a team-oriented environment where every employee plays a key part in the restaurant's success. Drivers are expected to actively enforce safety on roads, execute excellent customer service with a positive and enthusiastic attitude, and uphold cleanliness and sanitation standards within the restaurant environment. This job also involves greeting customers, handling cash and orders, and answering phones for deliveries. Jimmy John’s supports its employees with comprehensive benefits, including free meals during shifts, paid time off available to all employees, flexible scheduling, and opportunities to earn tips daily and mileage reimbursements. They even offer the convenience of free pay advances for paycard users.

If you are 18 years or older, have a clean driving record with valid driver's license and insurance, and are ready to join a fast-service team where your effort and smile contribute to successful days, Jimmy John’s is eager to have you on board.
