• • Operate water trucks, skid steers, compactors, sweepers, vacuum units, and pickup trucks safely and according to site rules.
• • Follow PPE, decontamination, confined-space entry, air-monitoring, and waste-handling procedures at all times.
• • Inspect, clean, and perform basic maintenance on field equipment and tools; report defects and safety issues.
• • Travel to project sites as required and assist with setup, demobilization, and documentation of field activities.

What we're looking for

• • Previous experience in environmental remediation, hazardous-material cleanup, tank cleaning, or industrial cleaning.
• • Hands-on experience operating jobsite equipment (skid steer, water truck, compactor, sweeper, or similar).
• • Strong understanding of hazardous-material safety procedures and proper use of PPE and decontamination practices.
• • Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record and willingness to travel up to 50% for projects.
• • Ability to perform physical outdoor work in varying weather; lift, carry, and handle equipment and materials safely.
• • Dependable attendance, punctuality, and ability to follow directions and site-specific safety plans.

Qualifications

• • CDL (A, B, or C) preferred or ability to obtain depending on role requirements.
• • Confined-space entry training and rescue awareness (preferred).
• • Valid driver’s license and clean driving record; ability to pass background and drug screening.
• • English required; Spanish or other language skills a plus for crew communication.

What we offer

• • Site-specific safety training and paid training opportunities (HAZWOPER/Confined Space refreshers).
• • Travel per diem or expense reimbursement when on multi-day assignments.
