Mobile Shredding Field Lead

Job Description

Job Description

Why This Role Exists

Phiston Technologies is expanding its secure data destruction operations in Virginia, and we need a proven field leader to own both sides of the operation — warehouse and field. You'll oversee in-house hard drive and media destruction at our Virginia facility and lead a team of CDL-A drivers and technicians delivering NAID AAA-certified on-site shredding services to enterprise clients, government agencies, and data centers across the region.

If you've got a background in ITAD, secure shredding, or field service operations — and you know how to lead a crew, manage throughput, and keep clients confident — this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

Warehouse Operations

• Oversee in-house shredding operations at the Virginia facility — hard drives, SSDs, mobile devices, and other media
• Manage daily throughput to meet client SLAs and destruction volume targets
• Maintain equipment readiness for warehouse shredders and related destruction systems
• Enforce chain-of-custody procedures from media intake through Certificate of Destruction issuance
• Ensure facility compliance with NAID AAA, DIN 66399, and NIST 800-88 standards at all times

Mobile Field Operations

• Lead on-site shredding events at client locations across Virginia and surrounding regions
• Supervise and direct a team of CDL-A drivers and field technicians day-to-day
• Manage scheduling and logistics for mobile shred trucks, equipment, and personnel
• Serve as the primary client contact during field events, ensuring a professional and seamless experience
• Oversee mobile equipment readiness — shredders, trucks, and generators

Team & Reporting

• Train and mentor team members on safety protocols, equipment operation, and client interaction standards
• Complete and review Certificates of Destruction and daily operational reports
• Coordinate with HQ

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 3–5 years of experience in field service, logistics operations, or mobile service leadership
• Demonstrated ability to lead and manage a team in the field
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Comfortable with 30–50% travel (Virginia region and occasional regional travel)
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to pass a thorough background check (required for NAID AAA compliance)
• Physically capable of working in field environments (lifting 50+ lbs, outdoor and warehouse settings)

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience in ITAD (IT Asset Disposition), secure shredding, or data destruction services
• NAID AAA or chain-of-custody compliance background
• Familiarity with hard drive shredding, degaussing, or destruction equipment
• CDL-A license or experience managing CDL-A operators
• Prior experience working with government, enterprise, or data center clients

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary — commensurate with experience
• Full benefits package: medical, dental, and vision (eligible after 60 days)
• 401(k) with 100% company match up to 6%
• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick time
• Company-paid life insurance and short/long-term disability (after 90 days)
• 6 weeks paid parental leave
• A chance to grow with a fast-expanding, compliance-driven company that serves top-tier enterprise and government clients worldwide
