At Delta Star the work we do has a real impact. Every transformer we build helps deliver reliable electricity to homes, businesses, and communities across North America.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for people who want more than just a job. We are looking for individuals who want to learn, contribute, solve challenges, and build a meaningful career alongside a team that is committed to delivering power at all times.

What You'll Do

As a Class A Driver, you'll be responsible for operating Class A vehicles to transport large and heavy equipment, such as power transformers and modular substations, to various locations across the U.S. You'll ensure proper loading, unloading, and securing of equipment, all while adhering to safety regulations and permit provisions. Additionally, you'll be responsible for maintaining accurate logs and communicating effectively with dispatch and customers.

A Day in the Life

Additionally, when traveling isn't required, you'll help transport materials between the factory and warehouse, supporting our team's daily operations.
