WM, formerly known as Waste Management, is a leading environmental solutions company dedicated to sustainability and responsible waste management. With a rich history and a commitment to innovation, WM operates as a top-tier service provider in the waste and recycling industry, serving communities across various regions. The company focuses on creating opportunities for its employees, offering stable and meaningful employment where team members return home safely every day. WM exemplifies a strong commitment to growth and development by providing robust educational assistance programs and investing significantly in its workforce through comprehensive benefits such as medical, dental, vision coverage, 401K matching, and discounted stock options. It also supports team members with dependent day care and more, fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment.
The Senior Driver position at WM plays a critical role in the company's operations by operating heavy-duty trucks equipped with front or rear-end loading lifts. This role involves the essential task of picking up waste and recyclable materials from various containers that may weigh over 1,000 pounds. Senior Drivers not only navigate challenging routes that include congested roadways, alleyways, and driveways but also execute complex backing maneuvers ensuring safety and efficiency. This position demands high-level driving skills to transport materials to disposal, transfer, or recycling facilities when the trucks reach legal load capacity. Beyond driving, Senior Drivers are expected to perform thorough pre-and post-trip inspections, maintain communication with route managers and dispatch, and ensure customer satisfaction by leaving pickup sites clean and orderly. The job is a blend of physical activity, advanced technical skills, and impeccable safety adherence. It offers more than just a paycheck by providing opportunities for career growth in a stable company environment that values its employees. This role is suited for individuals with a valid CDL Class B license with air-brake endorsement, excellent command of English, and experience or equivalent military driving skills. In return, employees are rewarded with safety-sensitive work protocols, competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities to grow and develop within an industry leader.
