• Operational Management: Oversee pre/post job checklists, equipment readiness, and trip logs; conduct pre-job site surveys to ensure operational efficiency.
• Quality Control & Reporting: Maintain accurate records of project activities and assist in writing high-quality flush reports for clients.
• Innovation & Input: Contribute to the design of new equipment and provide valuable input to improve existing programs and procedures.
• Safety & Logistics: Enforce PurgeRite safety protocols at all times; drive company vehicles defensively and ensure tools and vehicles are maintained to standard.
• Professionalism: Protect client confidence, maintain a positive attitude, and ensure regular attendance and punctuality.

Requirements

• Technical Expertise: Comprehensive knowledge of flush equipment capabilities, tools, and mechanical systems.
• Mechanical Aptitude: Strong history of working with mechanical systems and a proactive approach to technical problem-solving.
• Leadership Ability: Demonstrated ability to lead by example and work harmoniously with diverse teams and customers.

Position Goal: The goal is to ensure the flawless implementation of flushing projects while mentoring the next generation of technicians, ultimately helping the company scale while improving business efficiency.
