Make an Impact. Support the Team. Grow Your Career.

We’re hiring a Lead Service Valet to help deliver high-quality, consistent trash collection service at apartment communities. Will be responsible for locations from Glenview down to Aurora. Reporting to the Operations Manager, this hands‑on role supports service coverage, quality control, and team development. It’s a critical steppingstone to the Area Leader position and plays a key role in keeping operations running smoothly.

When Area Leaders are off duty, you’ll step in to lead the team, manage service routes, and address any issues in the field. While some responsibilities are reactive, success in this role depends on your ability to spot trends, solve problems, and keep service levels high.

• Cover Area Leader duties during absences and manage assigned service areas
• Train and support Service Valets; complete handoffs and onboarding as needed
• Conduct audits to assess service quality, safety, and operational efficiency
• Fill in on trash collection routes when needed due to absences or high volume
• Respond to service issues quickly and escalate complex problems
• Identify trends, prevent recurring issues, and recommend process improvements
• Provide support across multiple districts as business needs change
• Help with container delivery, new client launches, and community events
• Maintain positive relationships with peers, leadership, and client contacts
• Report safety hazards, equipment issues, and personnel concerns

What You’ll Bring

• Customer‑first mindset with a strong work ethic
• Team leadership potential and the drive to grow into a management role
• Strong problem‑solving, organization, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and adapt to fast‑changing environments
• Comfortable using company tools and mobile apps

Requirements

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Authorized to Work in the U.S.
• Smartphone with data plan required to use our mobile app (biweekly stipend provided)
• Valid driver’s license and insurance
• Willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions
• Ability to lift to 50 lbs., and walk long distances
• Experience in logistics, valet trash, or field services preferred
• Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and split shifts
