To be successful in this role, you’ll need a high school diploma or equivalent along with some additional education or experience to hone your skills. A valid driver’s license is required, and if you currently hold or can quickly obtain an Illinois Class “B” Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with air brakes endorsement, even better! We are looking for someone who can confidently operate a variety of equipment, including snow plow trucks, while maintaining a courteous and professional demeanor with everyone you encounter.
