The Driver/Material Handler position at Univar Solutions is a critical role that combines vehicle operation with warehouse material handling. This hybrid role requires the safe operation and maintenance of company vehicles, including forklifts and pallet jacks, to facilitate pickups, deliveries, and production support activities. A key responsibility is the safe transportation of hazardous materials and wastes in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations as well as company policies.

The Driver/Material Handler role not only offers the opportunity to build a sustainable career but also to contribute significantly to the safe and efficient delivery of essential chemicals supporting numerous industries and community needs. This is a full-time position, and candidates will undergo necessary training and must maintain required licenses, including a Class A commercial driver’s license with relevant endorsements for tanker and hazardous materials transport. Our team environment supports personal and professional growth, emphasizing employee wellbeing, safety, and community impact.
