Why Join the "Green for Life" Team?

At GFL Environmental, we don’t just collect waste; we provide essential services that keep our communities clean and sustainable. When you join the GFL family, you’re joining a team of "Green Warriors" dedicated to safety, efficiency, and environmental excellence.

We offer steady local routes out of our Orange City hauling branch, ensuring you are home every night. We provide a culture that values your hard work, a modern fleet, and a career path where you can grow for life!

The Opportunity

As a Residential Rear-Load Driver, you are the leader of a specialized collection team. Operating a heavy-duty rear-load truck, you will navigate curbside routes in Orange City. This role is perfect for a driver who enjoys a fast-paced, physically active environment and thrives in a team-based setting with another driver.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Team: Work in tandem to ensure efficient, manual curbside pickup of residential waste or recyclables.

• Master the Machine: Expertly operate heavy-duty rear-load trucks and hydraulic packing systems.

• Own Your Route: Safely navigate residential streets, ensuring every neighbor receives our signature "Green Ribbon" service.

• Safety First: Conduct rigorous pre- and post-trip inspections. At GFL, safety isn’t a box to check—it’s our way of life. You are responsible for the safety of yourself, your partner and the public.

• Professional Pride: Maintain a clean vehicle and professional demeanor, acting as the primary GFL brand ambassador on the road.

What You’ll Bring

• The Credentials: A valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL Class A or B) and at least 1 year of commercial driving experience (or a CDL school certificate).

• Team Leadership: The ability to communicate effectively and work safely with a partner in a high-speed environment.

• The Strength: Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs repetitively and the stamina to handle the physical demands of manual collection.

• The Skills: Excellent spatial awareness (ability to back up 120+ feet in tight residential spaces) and the ability to recognize unacceptable waste materials.

• The Mindset: A self-starter attitude with the flexibility to adapt to changing weather conditions and route needs.

Working Conditions & Physical Demands

• The Great Outdoors: Enjoy working outside! You’ll be exposed to various Florida weather conditions and the hum of a high-performance fleet.

• Physical Stamina: Unlike automated roles, this position involves manual labor and frequent movement to assist with vehicle checks and loading as needed.

• Precision Driving: Visual focus and depth perception are critical for navigating high-traffic residential areas and managing the safety of your partner at the rear of the truck.

Comprehensive Benefits – "Green for Life"

We invest in our people. As a member of Team Green, you’ll enjoy a "Green for Life" benefits package designed to support your health, wealth, and future:

• Generous Time Off: 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) plus paid holidays.

• Healthcare Excellence: 4 medical plan options, including an HSA with employer contribution & match program.
