  • Clean up oil spills promptly and properly maintain containment areas in accordance with company safety and environmental standards.
  • Perform routine yard housekeeping, including disposing of trash, recycling, and other materials as needed.
  • Assist technicians with day-to-day shop and yard activities by transporting materials, tools, and equipment.
  • Support preventative maintenance tasks, including greasing trucks and other basic service-related duties as assigned.
  • Inspect the yard throughout the day to identify and address potential safety hazards.
  • Operate equipment such as forklifts or other material handling equipment (training provided, if applicable).
