• Follow company procedures for diagnosing, repairing, and documenting equipment issues.

• Net surface and bottom debris; empty skimmer and pump baskets.


• Vacuum manually and with Hammerhead/RipTide equipment.

• Maintain proper filtration, circulation, and sanitation to prevent algae growth.


• Recognize conditions that may contribute to algae and take appropriate corrective action.


• Communicate recurring or significant algae issues through the appropriate work order or Tech Concern process.

Truck, Equipment & Safety

• Follow chemical safety protocol. Never mix chemicals; store and handle acid and chlorine separately.


• Use required PPE (gloves, eye protection) when handling chemicals.


• Keep the truck clean, organized, and secure.


• Maintain company tools and equipment and report maintenance needs promptly.


• Drive safely and follow GPS monitoring expectations, including no harsh braking, hard acceleration, or speeding.
