About the Role
This is not a sit-in-the-cab job. You'll drive a vacuum/pump truck and service grease traps at restaurants and commercial kitchens across the Cincinnati metro. That means pulling and moving hose, operating vacuum equipment, and working in tight spaces — often in conditions that aren't glamorous. The work is physical and can be odorous. We need someone who takes pride in doing a dirty job right.

Set up, operate, and break down hose and vacuum equipment at each stop
Service and pump grease traps at restaurants and commercial kitchens
