We are looking for motivated and reliable Snow Removal Operators to join our team for the winter season in the St. Paul area. In this role, you will play a crucial part in maintaining safe, accessible operations for high-volume commercial and zero-tolerance industrial trucking facilities.

Site Hazards & Quality Control:
Perform routine pre- and post-clearing inspections of entryways, high-traffic lanes, and walkways to ensure zero-tolerance standards are met.
Equipment Care:
Perform daily pre-trip equipment checks, routine fluid checks, clearing, and minor operational adjustments to keep machinery in peak working condition.
Safety & Communication:
Strictly adhere to site safety protocols and communicate clearly with dispatch and site managers regarding job completion, weather shifts, or site risks.
Qualifications Experience:
Prior commercial snow removal, heavy equipment operation (skid steer / wheel loader mandatory), or winter groundskeeping experience preferred.
Mechanical Aptitude:
Basic mechanical knowledge for troubleshooting equipment and operating power tools.
Situational Awareness:
Ability to navigate busy trucking yards safely and preserve surrounding landscape, curbs, and structures during snow displacement.
Physical & Weather Readiness:
Stamina to work extended shifts in sub-zero temps and adverse winter conditions.
Reliability:
Dependable transportation and quick response time for weather-dependent call-outs. Why Join Us? We offer competitive hourly rates, reliable winter hours, well-maintained equipment, and a safety-first team environment.
