About The Team

We conduct hundreds of live auctions each year around the world. It takes a hardworking team of energetic people in a wide variety of full‑time and part‑time roles to conduct a successful multi‑million dollar auction – from equipment inspectors, yard managers and operators to administrative staff and customer service representatives.

About the Team – Yard Operations

Our yard operations crew handles the day‑to‑day logistics of vehicle movement and auction preparation, ensuring a smooth and safe workflow across the facility.

Job Description

IAA, an RB Global, Inc. company, is seeking a Loader Operator. Loader Operators are essential to the success of our branch operations, using front‑end loaders to maneuver vehicles around our facilities in preparation for auction.

• Maintain lot inventory of vehicles and parts.
• Document and record vehicle information, perform vehicle improvements (e.g., shrink wrapping, steam cleaning), and conduct light maintenance in preparation for sale.
• Assist visitors by providing guidance and directing them to the appropriate person for additional assistance.
• Remain calm, alert, and actively avoid potential safety hazards or situations that could cause damage to property while operating front‑end loaders or other heavy equipment.

• Apply appropriate security, maintenance, and safety procedures to protect company and customer assets.
• Use personal protective equipment (e.g., safety gloves, safety glasses).
• Avoid accidents by recognizing potentially unsafe situations and responding appropriately.
• Follow industry‑specific regulations related to hazardous material handling.
• Constantly lift, carry, push, or pull up to 20 lbs.
• Frequently lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 lbs.
