We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, is dependable, treats customers well and understands the importance of handling our products carefully.

- Help keep delivery vehicles clean, organized and in safe operating condition

What We're Looking For
- Valid driver's license with a good driving record
- Delivery-driving or commercial driving experience preferred
- Experience handling glass or other large, fragile building materials is a plus, but we are willing to train the right person

- Regularly lift, carry, push and pull heavy materials
- Safely handle large pieces of glass with another employee
- Repeatedly bend, reach, stand, walk and lift throughout the workday
- Get in and out of delivery vehicles frequently
