Calgary, AB

$26–$31/hour | Full-Time

Local company (family-owned) is a growing waste management company specializing in roll-off bins for residential construction, renovations, and demolition projects. We are looking for a highly competent, dependable, hands-on truck driver to join our team.

This is not just a driving job.

We are looking for someone who knows their way around a truck, takes pride in equipment, can troubleshoot problems in the field, and has the ability to become a leader and train other drivers.

If you are the person everyone calls when a truck or piece of equipment isn't working properly, this could be a great fit.

The Role

As a Lead Hooklift/Roll-Off Driver, you will operate our hooklift trucks throughout Calgary and surrounding areas, delivering and picking up bins while making sure our equipment is kept in excellent working condition.

- Inspect your truck and hooklift equipment before and after shifts
- Know your truck from head to toe
- Perform daily fluid, tire, brake, lighting, hydraulic, and equipment checks
- Grease and lubricate trucks and hooklift systems as required

- Troubleshoot equipment issues in the field
- Perform minor repairs and adjustments on trucks and hooklift systems
- Communicate clearly when a repair or maintenance issue requires a mechanic
- Keep trucks clean, organized, and properly maintained
- Complete required inspection and maintenance documentation
- Work safely around construction sites, homes, vehicles, and pedestrians
- Help train and mentor new drivers once fully established in the role




- Set the standard for safe driving, equipment care, customer service, and work ethic
- Operate mobile apps easily

What We're Looking For We are looking for a competent truck operator—not just someone with a driver's licence.

- Has experience operating medium/heavy-duty trucks

- Has great communication skills!!!
- Is organized and pays attention to detail!!!
- Can remain calm and figure things out when something doesn't go according to plan
- Has the personality and ability to train other drivers and lead by example

The Person We're Looking For You should be the type of person who:





Sees a problem → figures out what is wrong → determines what can be fixed → fixes it if possible → communicates the issue → gets the job done.

We don't want someone who immediately says, “The truck isn't working.”

We want someone who says, “Here's what it's doing, here's what I checked, here's what I think is wrong, and here's what we need to do.”

Requirements

- Valid Alberta driver's licence (Class 5 / 3 / or 1)
- Clean and responsible driving record
- Previous commercial truck driving experience (is very helpful but can be trained)
- Hooklift/roll-off experience strongly preferred
- Strong mechanical aptitude
- Ability to perform physical work
- Ability to work independently
- Solid safety awareness
- Reliable transportation to and from work
- Ability to communicate effectively with dispatch, customers, and management

Compensation $26–$31/hour, depending on experience, mechanical ability, equipment experience, and overall competency.

The right candidate will have the opportunity to take on additional responsibility and become a lead driver/trainer as our fleet continues to grow.

Why Work With Us?

We're a growing local company where good employees are noticed and trusted with responsibility.

We're looking for someone who wants more than just a job driving a truck. If you're experienced, mechanically inclined, dependable, and take pride in doing things properly, there is room to grow with us.
