About Interstate Waste Services

Founded in 1998, Interstate Waste Services (IWS) has grown to become the most progressive and innovative provider of solid waste and recycling services in the greater New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut markets, featuring a rail-served landfill in Ohio. We proudly combine the resources of a large company with the values and care of a family-run business, having acquired many family-owned operations that remain integral parts of our team today.

IWS is committed to delivering high-quality waste, recycling, and environmental services while prioritizing the safety of our employees, customers, and communities. We cater to a diverse range of industrial, medical, and commercial/residential customers.

About the Role

This position serves as a vital support pillar for 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, including rear load, front load, roll-off, grapple, and porta-potty trucks.

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 light failures. You will perform essential preventative maintenance tasks, including lubrication, fluid top-ups, and tire inspections, while assisting technicians with repairs on engines, transmissions, brakes, and electrical systems. Beyond the hands-on work, you will maintain a clean and safe shop environment in compliance with OSHA standards and ensure all repair documentation and parts usage are recorded accurately.

Hiring Process

Candidates selected for this role will be required to attend and participate in corporation-sponsored training courses to stay current with technology and job-specific procedures.
