Position Summary

As a Combo Operator 2, you will be responsible for operating a Combo/Jet-Vac truck with minimal supervision while supporting the safe and efficient cleaning of underground pipes, vaults, and tanks using high-pressure water and vacuum systems. You will perform standard diagnostics and basic repairs on equipment, complete required truck checklists, and ensure all systems are functioning properly. This role requires the ability to operate an easement machine, properly set up and cone off traffic control in accordance with safety standards, and contribute as a reliable member of the field crew. You must have a working knowledge of nozzle selection and proper PSI usage for various cleaning applications, as well as the ability to set up and operate the vacuum system, including properly decanting liquid and disposing of debris. You will play a key role in maintaining productivity, equipment readiness, and overall job site safety while reporting to the Field Operations Manager.

Regional & Work Environment Considerations 

This role involves working along busy streets, highways, and residential roads, often in high-traffic areas. Crews must follow strict safety protocols and be aware of roadside hazards. Some sites may include embankments, uneven terrain, or wet conditions. Expect outdoor challenges and changing weather conditions. This means adapting to high heat, humidity, sudden storms, and cold temperatures.

• Drive and operate a Combo/Jet-Vac Truck to clean sanitary and storm systems at assigned worksites
• Perform daily DOT inspections and maintain accurate logs and required documentation
• Clean small and large diameter pipes, vaults, and tanks to client standards

A valid driver’s license and obtaining a medical clearance to drive DOT-regulated vehicles (DOT Medical Certification) is considered an essential function of employment in field operations. Employees must obtain this medical certification within 90 days of hire and maintain it as a condition of continued employment. Failure to obtain or maintain driver eligibility or medical clearance may affect employment status and/or eligibility for certain job assignments, unless given an Human Resources accommodation.
