Position Type: Full-Time

Reports To: Fleet Manager

Department: Firewood, Equipment Rental & Shop Operations

• Ensure accurate order fulfillment and quality control before each delivery
• Stack and stage firewood at customer locations as requested

Equipment Rental

• Coordinate equipment pick-ups and drop-offs 
• Inspect, clean, and prepare rental equipment before and after each use
• Set up and demonstrate equipment safely for customers at pickup or delivery locations
• Conduct basic pre- and post-rental inspections and document any damage or maintenance needs

Shop Support & Small Engine Maintenance (as needed)

• Serve as additional manpower for house shop runs and miscellaneous errands when firewood and rental activity is light
• Assist shop staff with parts pickups, supply runs, and material transport
• Support day-to-day shop operations as directed by the Fleet Manager
• Perform routine maintenance on small engine equipment (chainsaws, log splitters, generators, lawn equipment, etc.)
• Diagnose and carry out basic repairs to keep rental fleet and yard equipment in proper working order
• Communicate larger mechanical issues to the Fleet Manager or lead mechanic
• Maintain a clean and organized maintenance area

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record; ability to operate trucks and trailers
• Must possess or be able to obtain a valid Medical DOT card prior to start date
• Clean driving record. No minor violations in the past 3 years ( any accidents and minor speeding) and no major violations in the past 5 years.
• This position requires a background check as a condition of employment
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs repeatedly and perform physically demanding work outdoors in all weather conditions
• Basic mechanical aptitude — comfortable with small engine maintenance and minor repairs
• Strong time management skills with the ability to prioritize and execute multiple tasks in a single workday
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently without constant supervision
• Strong communication skills for customer-facing interactions during deliveries and rentals

What to Expect Day-to-Day

This role is not a desk job. You will be on your feet, behind the wheel, and occasionally under a piece of equipment. Mornings may start with loading firewood or prepping rental units for the day's pickups. Midday could bring deliveries or a parts run for the shop. Afternoons might have you performing a tune-up on a small engine or returning rental equipment and logging it back in. The expectation is that you manage your time effectively, communicate clearly with your Fleet Manager, and make sure everything on your plate gets done — done right, and done on time.
