• Move equipment around the yard and to different departments as needed
• Pressure wash and clean equipment so it’s ready for the next customer
• Perform basic yard maintenance (organization, safety checks, keeping it clean)

• A valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record
• Someone who enjoys working outdoors in all weather conditions
• Physically able to handle lifting, bending, twisting, pushing, and pulling

• Mechanically curious — interested in equipment and how it works
• A team player who doesn’t mind jumping in wherever needed

Why Join Leppo?

• Competitive pay & quarterly/annual performance‑based bonuses
