We are looking for a dedicated and safety-conscious Street Sweeper Operator to join our municipal services team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for operating specialized street sweeping vehicles and equipment to clean streets, gutters, and other public areas. This role is essential in maintaining clean and safe roadways for the community, reducing environmental hazards, and improving the overall appearance of the city.
As a Street Sweeper Operator, you will be expected to perform routine inspections and maintenance on the sweeping equipment, report any mechanical issues, and ensure that all operations are conducted in compliance with safety regulations and municipal guidelines. You will also be responsible for documenting your routes, hours of operation, and any incidents or obstacles encountered during your shift.
This position requires strong attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and a commitment to public service. Operators must be comfortable working in various weather conditions and during early morning or late-night hours, depending on the assigned schedule. A valid commercial driver’s license (CDL) is typically required, along with prior experience operating heavy machinery or vehicles.
The Street Sweeper Operator plays a vital role in urban cleanliness and public health. By removing debris, leaves, and litter from streets and curbs, the operator helps prevent clogged storm drains, reduces pollution, and enhances the overall quality of life for residents. This job is ideal for individuals who take pride in their work, enjoy working outdoors, and are committed to making a visible difference in their community.
In addition to operating the sweeper, the operator may be required to assist with other public works tasks such as snow removal, minor road repairs, or emergency response efforts. Flexibility, reliability, and a strong work ethic are key attributes for success in this role.
If you are a responsible and motivated individual with a passion for community service and experience in vehicle operation, we encourage you to apply for this important position.
