Path to Ownership

Team Leader | Junk King

You spent years training hard, showing up early, pushing through adversity, and being part of a team bigger than yourself.

Now bring that same mindset somewhere it actually pays off.

At Junk King, we’re looking for former college athletes and high-level high school athletes who want more than a boring desk job. This is a fast-paced, physically active role where your work ethic, toughness, communication, and leadership matter every single day.

You’ll stay active, work with a tight-knit team, solve problems on the fly, and help customers in a real way—all while building valuable business and leadership skills for your future.

No two days are the same. One day you’re clearing out an estate. The next you’re helping a business move equipment. Every job requires teamwork, hustle, and the ability to perform under pressure.

The same traits that made you successful in sports can help you grow fast here.

Performance Matters

When you create a great customer experience, it shows up in reviews, bonuses, and tips. High performers earn more.

As a Driver + General Labor Team Member, you’ll:

• Drive the company truck to job sites (no CDL required)
• Remove furniture, appliances, construction debris, and more
• Work directly with customers and provide excellent service

• Collect payment once the job is complete

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…

Pay
