  • Perform ad-hoc projects such as truck delivery to new locations, testing and/or installing new equipment, etc.
  • Collaborate with teams to follow collection and drop-off procedures on each journey
  • Learn and adhere to company standard operating procedures (SOPs) and ensure compliance with safe operations standards

What we're looking for:
