Vehicle Operator

Covanta Environmental Solutions (CES) offers a turnkey solution to various industries for the management of residual waste materials. CES simplifies the management of hazardous materials, solid or liquid finished products, recyclable materials, and controlled substances in a responsible, environmentally friendly, and safe manner.

A Vehicle Operator performs duties associated with transporting hazardous and non-hazardous waste between Covanta facilities, third-party facilities, and the Client's sites. Vehicle Operators will have the opportunity to operate a variety of equipment including vacuum tankers, vacuum trucks, vans, and tractors. Our operators are expected to be professional and safety-minded individuals who interact with customers and colleagues on a regular basis. We believe in family and lives outside of work. As such, the need for overnight trips is very rare.

Responsibilities include:

• Safety is the number one goal of all CES employees. Drivers must operate equipment in a safe manner following DOT and company policies/regulations.
• Driving a commercial vehicle to pick up and transport waste to a designated location safely while meeting scheduled appointments and following all DOT regulations.
• Ensure placarding of the vehicle meets DOT regulations.
• Maintain paperwork, including:
  • Expense reports
  • Time sheets
  • Vehicle inspection reports
  • Manifests
  • Job sheets
• Proper completion of logs (paper and electronic).
• Inspect truck equipment and supplies such as tires, lights, brakes, gas, oil, and water, and perform minor maintenance.
• Perform non-vehicle work from time to time.
