B-Level Technician

Description: Vacuum Truck Operator (Septic Tank Pumper) — Build a Career, Not Just a Job Do you like people — talking with them, putting them at ease, being the person they're glad showed up at their door? Are you the kind of person who takes pride in doing physical work the right way, and who'd rather be outside solving a real problem than stuck behind a desk? Join the #1 team in the #2 business. At Van Delden Wastewater Systems, our Vacuum Truck Operators are the face of our company out on the road. Every stop is a chance to introduce yourself, take care of someone's property like it's your own, and leave them better off than you found them. It's relationship-driven work — the instincts of a great salesperson, without a quota, or commission hanging over your head. You show up, you do the job right, you treat people well, and you're rewarded for it. We're not the best septic company just because we're the oldest — we're the oldest because we're still the best. Family-owned and operated since 1937, we've been going strong for 89 years, and we're closed nights and weekends so you can actually have a life outside of work. No experience? No diploma? No problem. We'll teach you a valuable, respected trade — and no more over-the-road CDL driving. You're home every night.

You'll get a little dirty. You'll also go home every day knowing you kept families' homes running safely — and that how you treat a customer today is directly tied to how you're rewarded tomorrow. Your Schedule Monday – Friday. No nights, no weekends. Home daily, year-round work. Start time: 4:45–7:30 AM (depending on whether the truck needs emptying first). End time varies by day's workload — typically between 2 and 6 PM. Overtime available. Is This You? This job is NOT for you if you're looking for an easy, low-paying job to just clock in and out of.
