• A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record is a plus and may be required if operating a company vehicle.

• Must have a reliable smartphone with active service.

• Must be comfortable using a mobile app to receive assignments and check in and out at each service location.

• Ability to upload service notes and before-and-after photos through the app when required.

• Must be available to work any day of the week, including weekends and major holidays, whenever snow or ice conditions require service.

• Must be willing to work days, nights, early mornings, long shifts, and changing schedules.

Responsibilities

• Apply salt or ice-melting material safely, evenly, and according to instructions.

• Break up and remove packed snow and ice when needed.

• Accurately document completed services, site conditions, and materials used.

• Upload required before-and-after photos and service notes.

• Use the phone and mobile app only while safely stopped and away from operating equipment.

• Remain alert for slippery conditions, vehicles, pedestrians, and other jobsite hazards.

• Work closely with plow drivers, crew leaders, and other team members.

• Protect buildings, doors, concrete, landscaping, vehicles, and other property features from damage.

• Clean and properly store shovels, snow blowers, spreaders, and other equipment after each event.

Important Physical Demands
This is a physically demanding position. Snow events can require hours of repeated shoveling, lifting, pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, and walking on slippery surfaces. Snow may be wet, heavy, frozen, or compacted.
Applicants must be able to safely perform the following duties, with or without reasonable accommodation:

• Shovel and move wet, heavy, or compacted snow repeatedly.

• Lift and carry bags or containers of ice-melting material.

• Remain on their feet for extended periods.
