The Class A Driver will be responsible for the safe and timely delivery of helium compressed gas cylinders to customers across Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

The role demands not only driving expertise but also a strong commitment to compliance and safety standards. Daily vehicle inspections, adherence to Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, and accurate completion of delivery paperwork are crucial responsibilities. The job also involves loading and unloading helium cylinders, maintaining inventory, and building rapport with regular customers to ensure their needs are met. Maine Oxy values drivers who demonstrate professionalism, responsibility, and a proactive attitude toward company goals.

Maine Oxy’s benefits package is comprehensive and designed to support employees’ health, financial security, and work-life balance.

This position is well suited for candidates with a valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and Hazmat endorsement, along with driving experience or recent driving school training.
