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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
