About the Role

We are looking for a reliable, hardworking Compactor/Container Repair Technician to handle the heavy-duty maintenance, troubleshooting, and rebuilding of our industrial compactors and waste equipment.

• Electrical & Hydraulics: Work safely around 3-phase high-voltage electrical apparatuses, set hydraulic pressures, and optimize cycle times.

• Safety First: Follow all company and federal/state safety regulations to ensure a safe workspace every day.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Proven background in repairing heavy equipment, industrial compactors, or complex mechanical systems.

• Technical Skills: Solid understanding of basic electrical components (especially 3-phase high voltage) and hydraulic systems. Minor welding capability is a huge plus.

• Driver's License: A valid driver's license is required, and you must be able to obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) within six (6) months of employment (we will help you meet relevant safety criteria).

• Education: High school diploma or GED; a technical school diploma or certificate is highly desired.

• Physical Drive: Must be comfortable working in a loud, active industrial environment (hot/cold weather, lifting/pulling up to 50 lbs, climbing, and kneeling).

Schedule & Compensation

• Hours: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

• On-Call: Must be available for occasional emergency weekend calls.

• Pay Rate: Starting at $22.00 – $24.00/hour.
