  • Conduct detailed pre- and post-trip vehicle inspections, monitor equipment performance throughout the day, and perform minor field maintenance or troubleshooting to minimize downtime and maintain operational readiness.
  • Safely transport vac equipment to and from project locations, including towing off-road or easement-access tools as required for specific site conditions.
  • Access and clean underground structures using fall protection systems, gas detection monitors, and ventilation gear while following strict safety protocols in confined or hazardous environments.
  • Collaborate closely with fellow crew members to coordinate field activities, maintain job site safety, and ensure each task is completed efficiently and in alignment with project goals.
  • Accurately complete required documentation including time sheets, equipment logs, and cleaning reports within established timelines to support operational tracking and compliance.
  • Support special projects and step into additional responsibilities as needed, demonstrating flexibility to adapt to evolving field demands and project priorities.

  • Are comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions and within confined spaces (i.e., manhole), often involving kneeling, crawling, and physical maneuvering
  • Have working knowledge of digital tools like smartphones, tablets, email, and data collection systems, or willing to learn new technology
  • Have strong verbal communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with field crews
  • Are willing and able to safely use fall protection gear, gas monitors, ventilation systems, and full PPE including boots, safety vest, hard hat, gloves, and eye / ear protection
