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, complemented by 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, requiring a workforce that is adaptable, safety-conscious, and dedicated to excellence.

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 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, utilizing factory service manuals to guide repairs. Beyond the hands-on work, you will document all maintenance activities, parts usage, and time entries, ensuring accurate data for our operations. This role requires physical stamina to navigate the shop and grounds, work in varying weather conditions, and frequently interact with the cab of commercial vehicles.

Our Culture and Commitment

At IWS, safety and ethics are not just policies; they are the foundation of our daily operations. We maintain a clean, safe work area in strict compliance with corporate and OSHA standards. We believe in continuous improvement and encourage all employees to stay current with the latest technology and participate in corporation-sponsored training courses.

We are proud to offer an inclusive environment where reasonable accommodations are made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential job functions. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
