The role of a Class A Shuttle/Utility Driver based in Columbus, Ohio, is integral to Denali’s operational success and environmental mission. This full-time, hourly position requires driving and operating vehicles to collect, transport, and deliver food waste and organic materials along intra- and interstate routes. Drivers manage multiple stops daily, operating 30-45 foot open-top dump trailers with a regional footprint assigned by management. Responsibilities extend from vehicle operation—from manual and automatic transmissions—to performing pre- and post-trip inspections, basic equipment maintenance, and maintaining safety and cleanliness standards at client sites.

This position demands adherence to DOT regulations and other local, state, and federal laws, emphasizing safety for both the employee and others. Drivers must also handle communication with customers, vendors, and corporate operational teams to ensure smooth service delivery and resolve equipment or service issues promptly. Due to the dynamic nature of the assignments, drivers should anticipate flexible work schedules, including potentially long hours influenced by seasonal demands, with the possibility of working up to 60 hours per week or more.

The safety-sensitive nature of the role requires a clear mind, diligence, and a commitment to safe work practices. Proficiency with basic computer and mobile tools for logging and communication is necessary. The company fosters a culture of safety and continuous improvement by regularly conducting safety briefings and trainings.
