The Job

A CDL Driver and Crane Operator at SRS Building Products in Fort Wayne, IN. You'll pick up building materials and deliver them to job sites, using a crane to unload everything carefully. It's physical work, but you're home every night and you're the face of the company for our customers.

What you'll actually do

• Drive a truck with a crane attached, within a 200 mile radius of the Fort Wayne, IN branch. All trips start and end at the branch so you're back home daily with no overnight stays.
• Perform thorough pre trip and post trip inspections of the truck, crane, and forklift. You're responsible for DOT compliance and keeping accurate logs.
• Operate the crane and forklift to load and unload material. You'll coordinate with rooftop loaders to ensure deliveries are accurate and damage free.
• Verify inventory on each delivery. Take photos of the delivered material for documentation.
• Assess each job site for safety risks before unloading.
• Talk directly with customers at the delivery site. You'll answer questions and make sure they're satisfied with the order.
• Support warehouse and yard maintenance when you're not on the road. That might mean organizing material or helping with inventory.
• Report to the Branch Manager or Assistant Branch Manager.
