Preferred Experience

Experience driving work trucks, operating salt spreaders or skid steers, or performing commercial snow and ice services is preferred. Prior salting experience is not required; equipment and app training will be provided.

Schedule & Working Conditions

Work is driven by weather and customer service needs. Availability is required for callouts at any time during the November–April season, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Availability does not mean continuous work; scheduled hours vary. Operators must remain reachable during agreed availability periods and report within the established callout timeframe. Storm events may require extended shifts, with breaks and relief coordinated through the supervisor.

Work includes driving in winter conditions and exposure to cold, wind, snow, ice, salt, and slippery surfaces. Essential physical tasks include entering and exiting truck and equipment cabs, standing and walking outdoors, using equipment controls, handling hoses and tools, and performing equipment cleaning and basic upkeep, with reasonable accommodation where applicable.

Performance Expectations

· Respond reliably to callouts and communicate availability or delays promptly.

· Complete assigned services according to route priorities, site instructions, and supervisor direction.

· Operate safely and report hazards, incidents, and equipment concerns without delay.

· Use materials responsibly and maintain complete, accurate service and time records.
