About Interstate Waste Services
Interstate Waste Services (IWS) stands as the most progressive and innovative provider of solid waste and recycling services across the greater New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut markets, featuring a rail-served landfill in Ohio. Since our founding in 1998, we have grown through strategic acquisitions, many of which were family-owned businesses that remain integral parts of our team today. This unique evolution allows us to combine the robust resources of a large corporation with the enduring values and care of a family-run business.
We are committed to delivering high-quality waste, recycling, and environmental services while prioritizing the safety of our employees, customers, and communities. Our diverse client base includes industrial, medical, and commercial/residential sectors.
About the Role
This position serves as a vital support pillar within our maintenance operations, bridging the gap between drivers and our technical teams. You will be instrumental in ensuring the reliability and safety of our heavy-duty and light-duty fleet, which includes rear load, front load, roll-off, grapple, and porta-potty trucks, as well as their chassis and bodies.
Your day will involve active collaboration with drivers to complete daily post-trip and vehicle safety inspections, identifying visible issues such as leaks, body damage, or lighting failures. You will perform essential preventative maintenance tasks, including lubrication, fluid top-ups, and tire inspections, while documenting all work in our repair order systems. Beyond routine maintenance, you will assist A and B technicians with complex repairs on engines, transmissions, brakes, and electrical systems, utilizing factory service manuals to guide your work. Maintaining a clean, safe, and OSHA-compliant shop environment is a core part of your responsibilities, ensuring a professional workspace for the entire team.
Hiring Process
Candidates selected for an interview will be expected to demonstrate their practical knowledge of heavy-duty vehicle maintenance and their ability to work safely in a dynamic environment. The process includes a review of your technical capabilities and a discussion of your commitment to safety and dependability.
