We are looking for a reliable, hard-working General Laborer to join our facilities team. In this role, you will be responsible for maintaining clean, safe, and organized outdoor grounds and workspace. Key duties include safely dismantling wooden pallets using saws, removing trash and debris from the site, and loading waste into industrial dumpsters.

This is a physically demanding role performed primarily outdoors in all weather conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Pallet Breakdown: Safely dismantle wooden pallets using hand and power saws (e.g., reciprocating saws) to reduce waste volume for disposal.

• Grounds & Site Clean-Up: Regularly inspect outdoor working areas, pathways, and perimeter grounds to collect trash, scrap materials, and litter.

• Waste Disposal: Transport waste, broken lumber, and pallets to designated dumpsters and compactors; ensure dumping areas remain clear and accessible.

• Equipment Safety: Safely operate power tools, saws, and basic manual tools (crowbars, hammers, brooms) following all safety guidelines and wearing required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

• Workplace Safety: Identify and report physical hazards, safety risks, or equipment malfunctions to management promptly.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand, walk, bend, stoop, reach, lift, and carry up to 50 lbs repeatedly throughout the shift.

• Tool Handling: Prior experience using power saws (reciprocating saws/sawzalls) or willingness to undergo power tool safety training.

• Weather Tolerance: Ability and willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions (cold, heat, rain, wind).

• Work Ethic: Reliable, punctual, self-motivated, and capable of working independently or with a small team.

• Safety Mindset: Strict adherence to safety procedures, including wearing eye protection, heavy-duty work gloves, steel-toe boots, and high-visibility apparel.

Working Conditions

• Environment: 100% outdoor exposure in varying seasonal weather conditions.

• Physical Demands: Heavy manual labor involving repetitive lifting, sawing, carrying, and bending.

• Gear Provided: Safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, and high-visibility vests will be provided. Steel-toe boots are required.
