Fuel & Lube Truck Driver — Heavy Civil Construction

At Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors, Inc., we don't just build infrastructure — we build life-changing infrastructure. We are a privately owned, employee-owned (ESOP) civil contracting firm based in Jacksonville, FL.

We specialize in public works, water resources (including water and wastewater treatment plants), and site development, with expertise in underground utilities, roadway construction, and related civil infrastructure.

We are seeking a dependable Fuel & Lube Truck Driver to support our field operations by keeping heavy construction equipment fueled, lubricated, and ready to work. This position travels between active project sites to provide routine field service while helping reduce equipment downtime and keep our crews productive.

• Inspect equipment for visible leaks, damage, or maintenance concerns and communicate findings to the maintenance team.
• Maintain accurate records of fuel usage, services completed, fluids, and materials used.
• Restock fuel, lubricants, grease, filters, and other service supplies as needed.
• Safely reposition equipment a short distance when necessary to complete fueling or service.
• Follow DOT requirements and company procedures related to vehicle operation, fuel handling, spill prevention, and environmental protection.
• Keep the fuel and lube truck clean, organized, properly stocked, and ready for service.
• Coordinate with field supervisors, mechanics, and equipment operators to support project operations.

This position does not transport or haul heavy equipment. Equipment may occasionally need to be moved a short distance when the service truck cannot safely access its location.

• Reliable transportation to and from the assigned reporting location.
• Commitment to safety, dependability, and professional conduct.
• Ability to work early mornings and adjust to changing project schedules and locations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Three or more years of experience in heavy civil construction.
• Previous experience operating a fuel and lube truck or servicing construction equipment in the field.
• Familiarity with Jacksonville, Northeast Florida, and surrounding project locations.
• High school diploma or GED.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to frequently climb on and around heavy equipment.
• Ability to walk and stand on uneven terrain.
• Ability to bend, kneel, reach, push, and pull throughout the workday.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to repeatedly enter and exit the service truck and construction equipment.
