About the Team
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, with 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, requiring a fleet that operates reliably in demanding urban environments.
About the Role
As a Level B Fleet Mechanic/Technician, you will serve as a journeyman-level expert responsible for the independent diagnosis and repair of mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic issues across our refuse trucks, heavy tractors, trailers, and heavy equipment. This role is pivotal in ensuring high fleet uptime and strict DOT compliance.
Your day-to-day involves more than just repairs; you will mentor Level C technicians, guiding them on best practices, safety protocols, and troubleshooting techniques. You will act as a critical support resource for road calls and breakdowns throughout the NYC tri-state area, performing safe temporary or permanent repairs to return vehicles to service or coordinating towing as needed. Success in this position requires clear communication with dispatch, supervisors, and drivers to manage repair statuses and estimated completion times effectively.
