GFL Environmental is looking for a motivated, hands-on General Laborer to join our team in Morristown, TN. This is more than just a labor role; it is a gateway into the waste industry and a direct path for those interested in Mechanical and Fleet Maintenance. While your primary focus will be maintaining the cleanliness and presentation of our fleet, you will work closely with our shop team, gaining exposure to heavy equipment and vehicle systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Fleet Aesthetics & Maintenance: Perform high-pressure washing and detailing of commercial trucks and heavy equipment to ensure GFL's professional image.
  • Shop & Yard Support: Assist the Maintenance Manager and Mechanics with shop organization, parts moving, and general site upkeep.
  • Vehicle Operation: Safely operate site vehicles, including pickup trucks and sweepers, to move equipment around the yard.
  • Preventative Care: Identify and report visible equipment issues (leaks, tire wear, or damage) to the mechanical team during the cleaning process.
  • Equipment Fueling: Ensure all trucks and machinery are fueled and ready for the next day's routes.
  • Safety Compliance: Work strictly within GFL, federal, and state safety guidelines to maintain a zero-incident environment.
Requirements
  • Valid Driver's License: A clean, valid Driver's License is required for moving vehicles on-site.
  • Mechanical Interest: A strong desire to learn about diesel engines, hydraulics, or general truck maintenance.
  • Reliability: Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions and maintain a consistent schedule.
  • Education: High school diploma or GED preferred, but not required.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
  • Growth Mindset: You are looking for a company where you can start at the ground level and work your way into a Mechanic or Driver role.
  • Technical Aptitude: Ability to follow multi-step instructions and safely operate industrial washing equipment.
  • Communication: Ability to work effectively with a team of mechanics and drivers.
Physical Demands & Working Conditions
  • Must be able to stand, walk, bend, and lift in an outdoor environment 90% of the time.
  • Ability to manually lift/move up to 65 pounds regularly and push/move up to 100 pounds with assistance.
  • Frequent exposure to outdoor weather (heat, cold, rain), moving mechanical parts, and loud noise levels.
Why Join GFL?
  • Career Pathing: We take pride in promoting from within. This role is designed to give you the foundational knowledge needed to transition into our Apprentice Mechanic or CDL Driver programs.
  • Stability: Competitive pay, consistent overtime opportunities, and a full benefits package.
