• Load, transport, and unload project equipment and materials
• Drive company vehicles to job sites (vans, trucks, forklifts)
• Perform hands‑on work in a variety of environments (indoors, outdoors, rooftops)
• Maintain organized workspaces aligned with 5S/CEO standards
• Complete OSHA and internal safety training
• Support mission‑critical customer facilities across the country
