Position Summary The Snow and Ice Equipment Operator safely operates compact equipment—primarily Ventrac tractors, skid steers, compact tractors, and similar machines—to clear and treat assigned snow sites.

Follow approved material, snow-stacking, and site-restoration instructions and immediately report changed conditions or work outside scope. Inspection, Documentation, and Safety Complete and document pre-use and post-use inspections; check attachments, cutting edges, tires or tracks, lights, alarms, fluids, controls, and safety devices. Perform authorized basic care, fueling, cleaning, and snow removal from equipment and report leaks, defects, damage, strikes, or unsafe conditions immediately. Accurately record service times, material quantities, notes, photographs, and issues in Company systems. Follow safe mounting, travel, backing, attachment, fueling, parking, and shutdown procedures and never operate while impaired by fatigue or another unsafe condition. Remain available for event schedules and communicate arrival, completion, delay, refreeze, access, and equipment status promptly.

Demonstrated ability to complete Company training and hands-on verification for each assigned machine and attachment before independent operation.

Ability to understand and follow site maps, work tickets, route plans, safety information, weather-response instructions, and verbal direction. Dependable attendance and ability to respond within established call-in and event-readiness expectations. Ability to use a mobile device and Company systems for time, work-ticket, material, photo, issue, and quality documentation as assigned.
