  • Conduct thorough pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections to ensure equipment is safe and operational.
  • Perform preventative maintenance on company vehicles and equipment, supporting long-term reliability and safety.
  • Operate a wide range of equipment, including bed edgers, commercial mowers, tractors, mini-excavators, skid steers, gators, blowers, dump trailers, chain saws, line trimmers, forklifts, and more, with skill and care.
  • Use hand tools and power equipment safely and effectively for various maintenance tasks.
  • Drive company trucks, tow trailers, and operate rolling arrow boards as needed, following all traffic laws and safety guidelines.
  • Accurately log maintenance work orders and checklists, both manually and electronically, to ensure clear communication and compliance.
