What the Job Is Like

Most days start early. You'll run your assigned route of residential properties, helping keep yards clean, healthy, and detail-oriented. The work is physical, but it's also rewarding. You're outside, moving throughout the day, and you get to see the results of your work before you leave each property.

• Are reliable and show up on time
• Like working outdoors and can work hard for a full shift
• Are comfortable with physical labor and can lift/carry up to 50 lbs
• Are willing to learn, follow instructions, and take feedback
• Care about doing clean, professional-looking work
• Can read basic English instructions and training materials
• Are comfortable with a background check and drug test
• Have a valid driver's license

Schedule

Typical hours are 6:30 AM–3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Depending on weather, route needs, or workload, some days may start as early as 5:00 AM or run until 6:00 PM, with an occasional Saturday during busy season or rainy season. We're looking for someone with reliable, full-time availability.

Why Work at Yard Techs?
