If you’re practical, mechanically minded, and enjoy variety in your day, this role is for you.
About the Role

* Supervising yard standards, safety, and equipment checks
* Providing updates to operations on equipment status, repairs, and job readiness

* Demonstrated ability to operate machinery safely and efficiently (skid steer/telehandler essential)
