Junk Removal Technician/Driver

Job Description

Job Description

You'll start working alongside an experienced Truck Team Leader as a Navigator, learning customer interactions, pricing, and efficient operations from the ground up. This is hands-on, physically active work, hours can be long, and the job is genuinely demanding. But your effort directly impacts your pay, your growth, and how quickly you advance. This isn't a role where you clock in and coast, it's one where showing up and working hard actually moves your paycheck.

What You'll Do

• Work as part of a two-person crew removing furniture, appliances, construction debris, and bulk items from homes, businesses, and job sites
• Load and transport items using trucks, lift gates, and dollies
• Handle bulky item pickups, unit clean-outs, estate and foreclosure cleanouts
• Manage illegal dumping cleanup and dumpster overflow situations, with photo documentation
• Take same-day and emergency response jobs when scheduled
• Conduct on-site assessments and assist with estimates and pricing as trained
• Sort materials for recycling, donation, and proper disposal
• Build customer relationships and help earn Google reviews
• Support marketing efforts: yard signs, door hangers, before-and-after photos

Professional Standards

• Maintain a clean, professional appearance
• Provide courteous, respectful customer service on every job
• Follow safety procedures and proper lifting techniques at all times

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay, $18.50–$30.00/hour, plus performance-based profit share tied to how efficiently and profitably your truck runs. The harder and smarter your crew works, the more everyone on it earns
• A real path forward: Navigator → Truck Team Leader, on your timeline, not a fixed tenure clock
• Stable, year-round work with consistent hours
• Equipment and safety gear provided
• Health, dental, and vision insurance available
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Paid training
• Variety: no two days look the same, residential, commercial, government, and estate cleanouts

Requirements

• Valid Hawaii driver's license with a clean driving record
• 21 years or older
• Ability to safely lift and carry 75+ lbs repeatedly, as part of a team
• Comfortable working in a variety of weather conditions and occasionally challenging environments (hoarding situations and similar)
• Reliable transportation
• Smartphone for job tracking and photos
• Strong communication skills and a professional demeanor
• Must be able to pass a background check and drug screening (Drug-Free Workplace)
• Must be able to pass a DOT physical exam

Preferred

• Experience in junk removal, moving, landscaping, construction, or other labor-intensive work
• Sales or customer service background
• Knowledge of Oahu geography
