Equipment Yard Operations Lead

Job Description

Job Description

Make the yard your command center

From the first gate swing at 7:00 AM to the final email sent before 5:00 PM, you orchestrate every inbound and outbound move. You’ll greet customers, direct machines to precise staging spots, confirm serials and paperwork, capture DIT photos, and keep the yard spotless and efficient. Nothing leaves or arrives without your eyes on it—and without a complete digital and paper trail.

• Walk the yard to verify organization, safety, and staging lines. Straighten machines so they face the right direction and present professionally.
• Open the rental folder, pull the original check-out sheet, and be ready to welcome early drop-offs and scheduled returns.
• Check-in a returning machine: verify the serial against paperwork, perform a thorough visual inspection, note new damage, and take clear DIT photos—while the customer is present.
• Have the customer sign to confirm return condition, then move the unit to the exact staging location assigned by the Branch Manager.
• Email all forms and photos to the location’s equipment email address so rental and service techs can act immediately.
• Receive a customer-owned unit: complete the customer-specific check-in form, capture concerns and visible issues, take an iPad photo, and attach everything to your email to the team.
• Send a rental out: confirm details, complete check-out paperwork, take DIT photos, verify fluid levels and full operation, and gather all required signatures. If delivering, send paperwork with the company or 3rd-party driver to collect delivery signatures.
• Accept a factory delivery: match serials to the bill of lading or packing slip before unloading, check the unit into DIT, print stickers, inspect for shipping damage, verify keys and owner’s manual, and hand paperwork to the Branch Manager to kick off PDI.
• Support service pickups: greet the customer, direct to service for invoice processing, retrieve the signed customer-owned check-in/check-out form, help locate and load the machine, then scan and email the signed check-out form.
• Process transfers: complete DIT steps and ensure the unit travels with a check-out sheet.
• Keep the shared spreadsheet accurate by updating machine status and location in real time.
• Coordinate constantly with rental techs and service staff to stage machines for the next job.

Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM, with an occasional half-day on Saturdays.
