  • Communicate effectively with team members, management, truck drivers, and customers

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Strong work ethic and positive attitude
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Basic math and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to read and follow written instructions
  • Willingness to learn computer systems and new skills
  • Proficiency in Excel preferred, but not required
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds with assistance
  • Ability to climb tanks and structures, bend, and work in physically active environments
