About the Role

Denali Water Solutions is hiring a Class A CDL Route Driver for a new Organix route serving the Buffalo and Amherst area. You will operate a power unit with a Wabo dump trailer, primarily servicing Tops and Walmart locations. The route involves collecting ZDP food waste material, which can have strong odors, and delivering it to a digester.

The route is expected to operate mainly within New York. Occasional support assignments or equipment moves may require travel into Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, or New Jersey.

What You’ll Do

• Safely operate and maneuver a power unit with a Wabo dump trailer.

• Service assigned locations and deliver collected material to a digester.

• Complete thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections.

• Grease assigned equipment weekly and report maintenance needs promptly.

• Communicate equipment issues, DOT concerns, route updates, and delays to management.

• Stay in regular contact with management and adapt to schedule changes or equipment moves.

• Operate safely in winter conditions, including some snowfall and icy conditions. Operations are paused during severe snowstorms.

What We’re Looking For

• A valid Class A CDL and the ability to safely operate the assigned equipment.

• Strong attention to vehicle inspections, equipment care, and DOT requirements.

• Clear, dependable daily communication with management.

• Flexibility with early start times, changing schedules, and occasional travel for support needs.

• Comfort working around food waste material and its odors.

• Sound judgment when driving in changing winter weather conditions.

Organix routes can change as customer and equipment needs shift. We’re looking for a driver who takes care of their equipment, communicates early when something needs attention, and can adjust when the day’s plan changes.
