What You'll Do:

• Keep the service yard clean, organized, and safe by removing debris, maintaining work areas, and supporting a clean, professional environment.
• Clean up oil spills promptly and properly maintain containment areas in accordance with company safety and environmental standards.
• Perform routine yard housekeeping, including disposing of trash, recycling, and other materials as needed.
• Assist technicians with day-to-day shop and yard activities by transporting materials, tools, and equipment.
• Support preventative maintenance tasks, including greasing trucks and other basic service-related duties as assigned.
• Inspect the yard throughout the day to identify and address potential safety hazards.
• Operate equipment such as forklifts or other material handling equipment (training provided, if applicable).
• Maintain an organized outdoor work environment while working safely in all weather conditions throughout the year.

• Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions year-round.
• Ability to safely lift up to 50 pounds, with heavier items moved using team assistance or mechanical equipment.
• Dependable, self-motivated, and committed to maintaining a safe, clean, and organized work environment.
• Ability to follow instructions and work effectively as part of a team.
• Ability to read, write, and communicate effectively in English to understand work instructions, follow safety procedures, and communicate with team members.
• Previous experience in a service yard, shop, warehouse or other hands on work environment is preferred, but not required.
