ABOUT BLUE PEAK TENTS

Blue Peak Tents is a fast-growing event infrastructure company based in Batavia, IL. We provide tenting, flooring, restroom trailers, generators, HVAC, and related services for corporate events, weddings, festivals, and large-scale productions across the Chicagoland area.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a CDL driver who wants to do more than drive. As the Equipment Driver-Technician, you'll transport our event equipment fleet restroom trailers, generators, HVAC units to event sites across the Chicago area.
