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, including gasoline, diesel, and CNG systems. Your day-to-day impact involves partnering with drivers to complete post-trip and vehicle safety inspections, conducting thorough safety checks during safety lanes and preventative maintenance (PM) sessions, and managing the lubrication and repair of vehicle components.

Beyond hands-on maintenance, you will act as a communicator between A & B technicians and drivers, discussing vehicle issues and preventative techniques to minimize future repairs. You will also be responsible for maintaining a clean, safe, and OSHA-compliant work environment, ensuring that all repair orders, parts usage, and time logs are documented accurately and timely. This role is essential for maintaining the high standards of ethics and dependability that define our team.
