A day in this role

When you arrive for your Monday–Friday shift, safety comes first. You start with a walk-through of the tank farm, confirm equipment is in good order, and gear up to handle hands-on work. Your morning might include drum pumping or drum dumping, followed by coordinating offloads from incoming trucks. Throughout the day, you carefully follow procedures, complete waste-movement documentation, and log everything with a scanning application. You wrap up by checking that all paperwork is accurate, the area is orderly, and any additional assignments from leadership are completed.

Core responsibilities

  • Make health and safety the top priority by consistently following established policies, processes, and safe work practices.
  • Perform drum pumping and drum dumping tasks with precision and care.
  • Carry out tank farm operations and coordinate safe, compliant truck offloading.
  • Complete and submit all required waste tracking documentation; utilize a scanning app for accurate movement records.
  • Support additional duties as assigned by management.

What you bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Age 18 or older.
  • 1 year of related experience.
