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 to 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 for our maintenance operations, bridging the gap between drivers and technicians. You will be instrumental in ensuring the reliability and safety of our heavy-duty and light-duty fleet, including gasoline, diesel, and CNG systems. Your day will involve active collaboration with drivers to complete daily post-trip and vehicle safety inspections, ensuring every vehicle is road-ready.
Beyond inspections, you will perform essential preventative maintenance tasks such as lubrication, fluid top-ups, and tire pressure adjustments. You will assist technicians in diagnosing and repairing components ranging from lights and mirrors to complex engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems. The role requires a hands-on approach, utilizing factory service manuals to conduct repairs on various truck types, including rear load, front load, roll-off, and grapple vehicles. Maintaining a clean, safe, and OSHA-compliant work environment is a core part of your daily responsibilities, ensuring that the shop and grounds remain organized and hazard-free.
Hiring Process
Candidates selected for an interview will be evaluated on their practical knowledge of heavy-duty equipment and their commitment to safety. The process typically includes a review of technical capabilities and a discussion of your approach to preventative maintenance and team collaboration. Successful candidates will be expected to participate in corporation-sponsored training courses to stay current with technology and safety protocols.
