Leading provider of comprehensive waste management services across North America.
Drivers operate heavy‑duty trucks equipped with various lift attachments to transport waste or recyclable containers to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities. Depending on the line of business, they may handle commercial, residential, or roll‑off assignments, each requiring skilled backing maneuvers and navigation of congested roads, driveways, and alleys.
Essential duties include operating vehicles in compliance with WM safety rules, OSHA and DOT regulations, performing pre‑ and post‑trip inspections, reporting unsafe conditions, attending training, collaborating with the Operations Manager to improve route efficiency, and completing end‑of‑day documentation. Drivers must also communicate customer requests, ensure receptacles are dumped cleanly, and assist fellow drivers as needed.
Qualifications require at least one year of CDL‑class driving experience (or equivalent military driving) within the past seven years, a minimum age of 18, legal work eligibility, and a valid Class A or B commercial driver’s license with an air‑brake endorsement. A high school diploma or GED is preferred.
The role involves physical tasks such as standing, walking, lifting, pushing, pulling, crouching, reaching, handling, sitting, talking, and hearing. Reasonable accommodations are available for individuals with disabilities.
